You wouldn't be so suited as my consort otherwise. [ As his cheek lolls into his knuckles, his gaze never leaves Eridanus' eyes. ] Funny that you understand so well what it means to be a man of the Emperor's Children, when so many of my brothers have forgotten their pride.
[ To devote oneself wholly to even the smallest goal, and to seek perfection in all things... Lucius sighs, the sound fond, and a feline purr rumbles its edges. ]
But, true enough β there is always more you might offer me. [ Even if, in the moment, he feels utterly content with Eridanus' words of dedication anew. ] You've yet to taste my venom in your veins. Perhaps it would bring you pleasure to end this day with your very blood alight with my favor?
