[Chris gives a good natured scoff and shakes his head.]
Maybe I'd take easier to it if my thoughts worked as yours do. Practicality reigns too heavily in my mind, so while emotions and desires are things I wish to give more attention to, it's not always possible.
But...your wisdom is appreciated and noted. You've a point that negotiation and communication are key regardless, even if it's not a traditional scene.
[It reminds him of how Ra'ah had started taking his wrist back home, a small indicator the rouge wanted to hold Chris' hand, but was letting him decide if or when. Perhaps he should consider making the suggestion to others...once he can get over how self-centered and presumptive the request would sound.]
I'm Ardrí back home -a king...trying to chase down or reason out my own mind in regards to these things has been thoroughly de-prioritized compared to other things.
[Huaisang nods his understanding at that, happy to offer as much sympathy as he can for Chris' complications.] I'm high-ranking nobility back home. I govern a large and powerful province.
I'm immensely grateful for the reprieve of being here. Where one can explore ... other priorities. [Huaisang's smile is impish and inviting, always ready to be tempted back toward pleasure and wickedness.]
[Chris leans in again to kiss Huaisang's temple and then the side of his head.]
That is one of the good things about this place: plenty of room to stretch a back that's not holding a land up. We deserve what breathing room we can for it.
[He could certainly be tempted again, perhaps something more soft this time. The afternoon is young yet, when he leans in further to kiss Huaisang's shoulder.]
[Nodding cheerfully at that, Huaisang tips his head to allow better access to his shoulder and along the length of his neck, if Chris can be tempted that way. He lets his eyes close, focused entirely on the physical pleasure of having Chris close behind him, the warmth of the bath, the soft kisses that speak of the beginnings of affection between them.] I've encountered many good things about this place. Good and talented and handsome ...
[Leaving the flirtation to trail off, Huaisang laughs, soft and playful.]
