[His ears flick at the little nibbles, and he sighs, pleased. His mechanical hand whirrs as he trails it down the other's neck.]

[He breaks it only to sigh:]

Goodness. How does a moment away from you feel like an eon?

[ That hand is going to be something to get used to... but it also doesn't bother him that much. ]

Don't know... but it's strange feeling lonely when I'm right next to you when we're around others.

It is strange, isn't it? Like magnets that can't be apart for too long.

[He smiles, bumping their foreheads together.]

That's a good way to put it.

[ He smiles warmly at that. ]

Also... did you see the gossip I dropped in?

...Ah, yes.

[Nodding...blushing a bit...]

You're quite the poet.

I'm normally not. I think you just bring it out in me.

[ He rubs their noses softly together. ]

Perhaps if I stay with you long enough, you'll be writing sonnets?

[A low chuckle.]

I'd pay to see that.

I doubt that. I think the closest I got was at the party the other week when Kaeya asked me about who I found to be attractive.

[ Did Sholmes manage to hear that part of the party? ]

But either way, I wouldn't charge you.
