Lupus In Fabula

[Reeves]

A smile and a nod followed her comment about how this might be viewed by his own people, but he didn't interject and politely let her finish, once she had, he spoke up. "Most would question my motives and doubt the integrity of my leadership. Some might allege that I've become a vassal, acting under your influence, and serving your interests rather than the LFR's. Another number would accuse me of betrayal. There would even be a token few who would congratulate me for bedding one of you. They might even be so bold as to ask how I did it." A sharp exhale of amusement punctuated his last comment, he found it funny because it felt like a certainty, and he had accounted for quite a broad spectrum of reactions.

"I knew the risks, what people would think or do if they knew, it's just that despite the potential controversy I can't call this an indiscretion. I didn't bring you here on impulse, I actively made that decision, and I don't regret doing it. Indiscretions are whimsical, or at least that's how I understand them, and all of this has felt.. significant" His hands shifted at last, moving up and across her back, and then taking hold of her face.

This gesture lasted for a few moments, likely because he just wanted to look at her, and after those moments of silent admiration or perhaps observation, he shifted to move out from beneath her. "I'll be stepping into the shower after I freshen up. Do you want to join me?" Deliberately, he lowered the tone of his voice, seeking to make this an attractive prospect. Of course this also relied on his partner not obstructing his movement, and her own intentions in the moment weren't clear, she always concealed that.
