LUCIUS.

                he was impressed the stuttering and skipping around thoughts had ceased, a brow raising as complete and coherent sentences were given as a response. the smirk on his lips broadened some and he let out a low laugh, resting one hand against the table top.

                ❝ i’m an adult human male as well and i’d gladly be called adorable. but you are handsome and cute, i’ll give you that. ❞ a wink accompanied his comment and the smirk slipped to more of a grin.

                  his  face  does  that  thing  where  it  all  goes  tense  and  he  highly  suspects  that  if  he  was  a  cat,  his  ears  would  go  flat  back  in  surprise.  teeth  sink  into  his  lower  lip  and  he  takes  a  breath.  brown  eyes  trail  down  to  were  lucius  leans  against  the  table,  focuses  on  the  long  spread  of  fingers.  he  has  nice  hands.  okay,  maybe  not  best  place  to  look.  somewhere  in  the  chest  vicinity??  better.

                  ❛  but  see,  you  can  pull  adorable  off.  me??  not  so  much.  takes  a  certain  kind  of,  ❜  he  gestures  vaguely,  ❛  aesthetic. ❜
