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. ]

[You know, eventually.]
