[ The resistance isn't missedโand yet, Lucius' smile pulls only wider on his lips, his face bisected neatly by the slender cut of his Cheshire grin. ]
Yes, [ he says, his voice a low and honeyed purr to match his half-lidded eyes. Sheathed in opal, Eridanus' jaw is numb to Lucius' touch but for its weight; instead, padded fingertips slide along the strong column of his throat, a claw-tipped thumb teasing against the apple that bobs there. ] It is.
[ His tongue glides between his lips. The only thing better than cheerful obedience, after all, is the reluctant kind. For a moment, enfolded in that tense air, Lucius nearly forgets the opportunity that hangs in front of them.
Still, Eridanus asks him that question. Lucius drops his hand from Eridanus' throat, arm falling to his side with a nonchalance that belies the precision that very same limb is capable of. With a graceful pivot, Lucius turns from Eridanus, heavy-lidded eyes and hungering smile replaced with an easy grin. ]
Now that you're here, I am. [ He takes a step, and cheerfully, the tips of his tails flick behind him. ] Let's not waste more time than we already have, hm, Archmage?
