Comments

[housemartell]

I could not agree more.

[ A smile given, though he tilts his head slightly, examining the man before him. ]

You do not look older than twenty years. Even then, that is a generous estimation.

[ Perhaps youth favored some more than others, who could say? ]

[the_cupbearer]

You're lucky you're handsome, then. Much easier to gain so many partners that way.

[ Ganymede ducks his head for a moment, smiling to himself. It's almost always a unique adventure, how things go once someone picks up that he acts and sounds much older than he looks. ] It is true, I do look young. but I am much older than I look. I was party to a, ah...peculiar gift that has resulted in me looking no older.

You say no limitations should be imposed on pleasure...what do you mean?

[housemartell]

It takes more than good looks to seduce properly. But, it does not hurt either.

[ He scans him once more, an up and down glance as if he's trying to better guess at his age while also just blatantly checking him out. ]

Ah, I see, favored by youth; as I suspected. [ At this point he'll take his word for it, still only assuming his relative age to be no more than perhaps early 30's, which was still a stretch. People were unique creatures though, some felt older than their days and some felt younger. ]

I have noticed that some, not all, place limitations on who they can experience pleasure with. Whether that is by gender; or by their relationship status. Why not have multiple lovers - why not have them at the same time? Life offers many options, is what I am getting across.

[ Devoted as he is to his beloved paramour Ellaria, they have never been the monogamous sort. ]

[the_cupbearer]

Oh, and what else does it take, for you? Now I'm curious.

[ For the time being, Ganymede is more than happy to let Oberyn suspect his age is whatever he likes. The truth of nearly seven thousand years is hard to comprehend, much less understand, and he doesn't begrudge anyone not needing to try it. He'd like to avoid knowing it himself some days. To the comment that he's favored by youth, he snorts a little indulgently, obviously amused. To being checked out-- well. He's used to that, though he shifts just a bit to let the man see all of him, turning in a slow circle.

If nothing else--and above most everything else--Ganymede is beautiful. Almost inhumanly so, and certainly more than would do him favors in most places. ] Favored by something, I'll give you that.

You do certainly seem to be the adventurous type in bed. I can see why people think you're charming. I like that, and I'm considerably picky.

[housemartell]

Are you asking how I seduce someone?

[ Amusement sparks in his gaze.

He does appreciate the slow turn Ganymede's offered him, taking in the man's beauty is an easy, natural thing. He suspects Ganymede must be quite accustomed to it, but he doesn't seem to carry himself the way most that were young and lovely did - as though this was all they had to offer the world. Interesting.

As for the comment on him being adventurous, ]

I detest stagnancy. And I find the best way to avoid it is to partake in as many experiences as I am able. Variety keeps me young.

[the_cupbearer]

Yes. I am indeed. [ He smiles, leaning back against the table and studying the way the other man moves and watches him. He's interested, and he sees no real need to be coy about it, smile tilting into flirtatious as Ganymede aims it at Oberyn. ] I said I was curious.

[housemartell]

Curious indeed.

[ He chuckles; an approving glance given at the other man's directness. He too is studying his movements, his manner of speaking, the shift of light in his hair. ]

I am afraid I cannot offer you a play by play, nor list of actions. It isn't something I think about, that would spoil the moment and the anticipation. Sensuality is a dance between two people; anticipating their wants, their desires. Melding them harmoniously with your own. A push and pull.

I'm certain there are a great many poems devoted to wording it better than I could attempt.

[the_cupbearer]

Curious? I'd suggest you ask, if there's something you want to know.

[ Ganymede chuckles and shakes his head gently. ] It's been a long time since I danced with anyone intending to seduce me. I think you come at it slightly more...subtly than most men. Certainly more than most men around here.

It's a good distinction.
