Did you see me trying to improv on the dance floor?
( He had tried to talk the Doctor out of involving him in that kind of display. The dancing was wonderful - the acting? Less so. Admittedly, doing stuff in front of a crowd is way more intimidating than one-on-one. Although one-on-one is still also challenging. He's also just... very out of practice of being perceived. He doesn't need the Doctor to know every time he's thinking about how gorgeous he is. )
Maybe I like being a man of mystery. Keep you guessing.
I suppose it's less about not liking being perceived, and more... being out of practice.
( Vulnerability isn't easy. He'd learned to shield himself. It's difficult to break out of that so quickly. But he's trying. Even just by admitting that it is hard. )

Also bold of you to assume I'd be able to focus.

Like your jacket when we met, yeah? I'll be even less likely to keep my hands to myself then.

This is sounding like a fun night out. If nothing else, we could use the occasion to scope out the place for the later robbery?

A handsome man keeps offering to wear scantily clad outfits while talking about his light fingered work. What do you expect from me?
no subject
I might not say it enough, but you're very distracting too, you know.
no subject
Don't worry babes, I've committed your interested face to memory. You never have to say anything ever again, I just know.
no subject
Well that's worrying in a completely different way! 😳

Don't like being perceived?

( The ring he's still wearing sits heavy on his hand, but that's not a new occurrence. It has since that very day. )
And I certainly had no complaints.
