Must they always have their little dance before the inevitable? He should have been annoyed, but the familiarity was somewhat endearing. Annoying, but endearing. He supposed he was the bigger fool for constantly jumping through the hoops presented for him, but it was usually worth it. Besides, this was the longest they had been apart, there was no way this was one sided. But as always, romance alone didn't interest the redhead. Eris had to work for what he wanted, and as exasperating as it was, he sincerely hoped the noble didn't assume he came without preparation. [color=ccff99]"Balk all you want, that line got me into Duchess Katrina's abode last week,"[/color] He informed Varis as-a-matter-of-factly, pulling out a letter before waving it around. [color=ccff99]"She has some [i]very[/i] chatty vassals and even chattier mages. And it was a B-list movie the Ghanie family provided effects for. I thought it was cute."[/color] Fortunately for him, his suspicions were confirmed, although he was presented with a dilemma. His initial reaction was to tease Varis on the fact that he [i]wanted[/i] them to spend time together, but unfortunately, he had a point. Maxie wasn't a concern, she would take time to adjust to her new surroundings, sure, but the other mutt was a little more complicated. The many faults needed to be addressed, he still had to inspect the dorm, there was a high probability that the kid's wardrobe needed to be burnt entirely which meant he needed to get on the phone to haggle with Feliks [i]again[/i], and they needed to discuss everything wrong with him, which would take more than a night to fix. Ugh. But there was really only one option here. [color=ccff99]"That's why there's two of them. He watches her and she watches him,"[/color] Eris replied casually, focusing more on trying to get in Varis' good grace. He didn't bother going for his hand again, albeit he did move a touch closer as he stroked his cheek. [color=ccff99]"You know I'm at your every beck and call, [i]mon beau[/i]. All you have to do is say the word and I'm yours."[/color] His tone was more sincere as he spoke, almost pleading if one knew what to look for.
