Serving-

[😶]

Pivots to the other hip?

[He's a bit taken aback by this, but eventually his rigid form does begin to relax from the initial grabbable.]

"Luce...?"

[Those azure eyes look down, scanning... Analyzing her face for a few moments.] Morning... You seem extra love struck today.

A brow raises and slightly disappears beneath a wayward curl of hair. "I'm not sure I quite believe you, considering I've yet to sleep, but I'll have to take your word for it."

I apologize, I... Had some personal matters that I needed to look after.. In regards to my bloodlines. [He nearly gritted his teeth as the words left his lips.] But I've returned and don't plan on leaving anytime soon.

Sassy hand on hip stance.

I promise it was ultimately a wasted trip and I wouldn't have wanted to make you go for something a kin to an ego boost for the king. [His face softened a little.] But I appreciate that.

"Mmm, no. Not yet. I got distracted with my poisons again." Cue him staying that so nonchalantly as he goes over to Lucanis's pot of coffee and pours himself a cup. "You know how it gets."

[His eyes flicker closed for a second as her hand comes up and caresses his cheek.] It wasn't a matter of keeping anything. It was more a spur of the moment situation that I decided to handle in person.

"I'm already beautiful. Or that's what you've told me." The cheek on this man. "If I sleep much more, I'll be on a godly level of attractive." 😏

Which would have put you in danger, and as much as I know you can hold your own, I wasn't about to put you in that situation.

In turn, the crow's cold, calculating eyes did a once over of the other, carefully. "Hm..." Faint approval.

You know of the bad blood between the king and I? That's honestly enough to put anyone in danger.

Not the mustache- Now he's going to have one curly side- "You're feeling coy, aren't you?" He may be tired, but he's trying his best to not let it slip past his mask.

To be fair. I threw that snake like it was a boomerang.
