He hums a soft sound, the dulled sensation of her lips on his throat more than enough to relieve any tension he might harbor in his shoulders and mind. His hands rise, threading through her golden hair, smoothing down her back in soft, massaging motions as he angles his head to steal a kiss before she draws away completely. “Maybe it’s the right time.” He flashes her a wink, a fanged grin, and a soft huff of laughter.
But when she sits up to look at him more fully, there’s a goofy boyish smile on his face as she adds onto his thoughts. “Sure. Build people’s homes and serenade them while I’m at it.” He drawls, before he barks a laugh, sits up more fully and raises his brows toward her. “You haven’t even heard me sing. You can’t say that.” What if he was a horrible singer and she was just giving him faux confidence to get laughed out of the bar?
The embarrassment.
He softens a fraction, though, when she asks if he’d stay in the Grounds. It isn’t really something he’d thought of too much, but he does tilt his head a little as he thinks on it. “Hmm. The Grounds are kind of all I’ve known for a long time. The only other place I could think of is maybe Halo?” Torchline an obvious no given their Ascension and if he’s being honest, despite how much he enjoys beach games, he isn’t particularly too interested in spending day after day there. “What about you?” He asks, before his lips purse at the mention of a deity, humming a soft laugh. “And what, all this time he’s just needed… Water?”
