[Is this what Sylvain considers working?? Sure, Lorenz has kissed him quite a few times and in various places, but is that Working... Is that Successful...
He's not going to argue that Sylvain definitely implied he's mediocre, because he absolutely did; he simply scoffs and rolls his eyes, which Sylvain doesn't even see! The nerve! But ah, the press of lips down his neck is - pleasant, enough that he generously pushes his hair out of the way without comment.
Well, almost. Must Sylvain nibble at him. His shirt collar goes only so high.]
[ He feels that's a very valid argument here. Obviously something was successful.
The mild warning just has him sucking instead of letting teeth press in. Although that's just as likely to leave a mark, really. He chuckles as he does it, because that was specifically above the line of Lorenz' collar for a reason. Although he might not realize there's anything there until later. ]
Why? Not enjoying yourself, Lorenz?
[ He's taking that baring of his throat as evidence to the contrary, but he lets his hand slide free to slide down over the man's torso now. and maybe purposefully flicking his thumb over where he knows the man's nipple is tucked away beneath his clothes, circling the area with teasing intent. ]
[Have some self-respect, Sylvain, he's been mean this whole time. He's being mean right now, scoffing as Sylvain sucks a mark into his skin. That's definitely going to be a point of contention Later, when he realizes it.
Groping his chest gets a soft hmm out of him, as if he's thinking about it. Is he enjoying himself, what a great question.]
I wonder. All things considered, I could be enjoying myself more.
[ You say that as if he's meant to consider people being mean to him a turn off. Have you met his best friends, Lorenz? At this point, he might as well consider that a show of affection. Lucky you.
That comment gets a faint pinch of his nipple through his clothing a moment before Sylvain pulls back with a smirk. ]
Well, I'd offer to do more, but that might quickly turn much more scandalous than this, and we are standing in the middle of the casino still. [ Just in case you'd forgotten that part. ] But if you insist...
[ His hands definitely lift to start undoing the first few buttons of Lorenz's shirt without hesitation. ]
The pinch makes his brows knit abruptly from the sudden jolt of it. He frowns, so point to Sylvain for that one, it seems.]
Ahaha. My, I had no idea you were funny for all these years. [Dryly, as he puts his hands over Sylvain's to halt his button-plucking.] Were I to insist, you would know.
[Alas, he will not be enjoying anything here in public, good gracious. Horrible suggestion, Gautier.]
[ Sylvain just pointedly flicks another button open despite the hand over his. He’s very skilled at undressing people, Lorenz. You wanna test that skill? ]
Was that your subtle way of saying you want to take this to somewhere more private?
You know, they say practice makes perfect for a reason.
[ His voice is sing-song with bemused humor, but he does let his hands fall away to prop on his hips once more, watching Lorenz fix his clothing with a crooked grin and a hint of laughter in amber eyes. ]
And barely adequate gives you so much room for improvement. Think of all the fun you’ll have practicing!
[ Sylvain just arches an eyebrow and continues to look amused. he's tempted to reach out and start unbuttoning Lorenz's shirt from the bottom this time. But he restrains himself. For now. ]
Oh, yeah? And how many others have you kissed like that since we've arrived? Are you sure you're getting an accurate representation here?
[ That just gets a snort from him as he arches an eyebrow at the man. ]
Lorenz, our kiss was perfectly enjoyable, if you could get out of your head long enough to find it that way. Your only complaint about it was that it was with me. [ But he hadn’t really expected even this much give from the other man, so he supposes he’s a little impressed he even got it.
He reaches out to pat the man on the shoulder, the movement somehow both placating and mocking. ]
It’s fine, I won’t tell anyone you’re looking for more practice. Unless you want me to, in which case, you’ll likely be having volunteers showing up in droves. Good luck with that.
[ The frown is met with a grin as Sylvain spreads his hands to the side in a shrug. That actually hadn’t been what he’d meant, but he knew as well as anyone the benefit - or the damage - a few rumors could do. ]
Suit yourself. Come find me if you change your mind.
[ Not that he expects him to. Had that been his intention all along? Hard to say. ]
