The new position he found to be even more enjoyable. While having Laurent against his thigh had felt nice, he very much liked the feeling of his neck being nuzzled. This way, he was able to slide his arms around the other man's shoulders to hold him. Not too tightly, but firm, keeping him secure. It might only be better if they were in a more comfortable place.
Laurent was right. No doubt he would continue to be fixated upon—maybe not for the same reasons as he was in Vere, but fixated upon all the same. His beautiful hair was a novelty among largely brown and black locks and his fair complexion stood out among the sun-kissed tan state of most of the court.
"That is all I can ask," he said, nuzzling his face against the side of Laurent's face, more than happy for the contact between them. He would believe Laurent without question when he said that; perhaps some would call it naive, but he wanted to give his trust. It was important, he believed, for there to be trust between them. It started by giving.
He was quiet for another long time, content to simply be close to Laurent, but something was on his mind. It was an appropriate thing to mention to his betrothed much as he did not like thinking, remembering it.
"There is... something I should mention," he began, studying the stairs beneath them as he spoke. "Before we seal this engagement." Little choice he may have been given when it came to Gansey, nothing was truly set in stone until they said I do. It would not be fair to chain Laurent to him without giving him all the information.
