that ego, though... ]

Really makin' me regret my words, aren't ya.

[ but he chuckles. he can take things in stride, especially when he's faced with someone as spritely as lilia. it's a different kind of aggression all together--- when they can wield said aesthetic like a sword, it's the most dangerous weapon. he can think of a few that would be absolute killers if they could do that. ]

I know I am. [ laughs! ] Usually that's enough, ya know. Still should be. But maybe it's because I haven't shown you enough to make you listen the first time and not need... extra motivation.

[ a smirk as he bends slightly, so that he can have that kiss. so that he can give it with interest; tongue swiping across those lips. nothing too deep. not yet. ]

So are you gonna tell me what I owe you? Or is that gonna be somethin' you save for a rainy day?
