Gallus held a gentle smile. "Never said you were, clan leader." He twisted his mouth and took a deep breath. "That said-" he itched the side of his nose, "-perhaps you should ask if you can join him and his friends more. Perhaps probe the situation more out of a professional setting. You might excuse yourself from taking a chance in your own mind, but it won't be there forever. Go on and take a chance!"

While lifting his mug to his lips, Gallus paused halfway and caught Ri'vashi's eye. "Although, maybe don't try just getting drunk with him and gushing until you can lift him into bed. That was sweet and all, but I tend to be more open to those situations than most." He drank another swig and held his fist to his mouth to direct a quiet burp through his nose. "Try a romantic dinner or something, I don't know."
