Then I suppose you will adjust to fethesi quickly, then?
[Eridanus returns, with a sly grin splitting his visage behind the guard of his opal maw. But he does seem to settle a bit, despite the prickle the topic of his father instills in him, as beneath the table Lucius idly doles out affection. Between the dowels of the kitchen chair he sits upon, Eridanus' tail swings with lazy comfort, and his shoulders relax.]
You know, when I first met you, I wouldn't think you as cultured as you are. A hooligan meaning to cause trouble, but I'm no peacekeeper nor a ward of morality, so I didn't care overmuch beyond how your antics disrupted my afternoon. [He chuckles as he glances across the board, and with the confidence of centuries of practice, sets another piece forward in their game.] For a time, I was determined not to like you, but you kept surprising me — and I quickly found that I could not deny the way you unconsciously commanded my attention.
[Beneath the table, Eridanus unfolds the leg that had been resting ankle-over-knee, and settles it beside Lucius'. He touches gently at the curve of the man's inner foot, and his smile wanes into something gentle and fond as he catches that aureate gaze.]
You enthralled me so quickly, I don't think my mind was able to comprehend the pace at which my heart soared.
