[Eridanus reclines in his chair, enjoying the sight of Lucius' brow furrowed in concentration as the playfulness of a moment prior passes. As that foot settles comfortably over his, he takes up his glass once more between the tips of his opal claws.]
Distract? No, I would never use the very same tactic as my Eternal. [He smiles over the lip of his glass towards the hunched figure of Lucius, before taking a slow sip of moonshine. As it burns a path down his throat, the glass is set aside once more and he wiggles his toes beneath Lucius' footโcatching his toe-claws against the skin of the other's heel.
He leans his weight forward, bracing his elbows against his thighs, but his gaze shifts. It casts sideways, like Eridanus is staring off in the distance, suddenly entranced with old memories.]
He wasn't always so awful, not until my arcane ability manifested. [Eridanus folds his hands together,] he taught me fethesi before then, always saying that it's imperative for an aristocrat to be disciplined in all things. Logic, music, swordsmanship. Magic simply became another one of those things.
