[It's unfortunate that after Lyney chooses that moment to sip from his new glass of wine, for it's now his turn to choke on his wine, sputtering and coughing as he lowers his wine. He coughs, but can't hide his sudden giggles.]
Mr. Kaveh! You can't just say such things so brazenly! Do they not teach etiquette in the Akademiya??
[But given his grin and giggling, he's not exactly ]
Well, now that you've spilled the proverbial cup of tea... I admit my curiosity is quite piqued at how his performance is. Especially if he's performing regularly, as you put it.
Ah, you make a fair point, Kaveh. How mistaken I was!
[There’s a bit of a flush in Lyney’s face that isn’t entirely due to the alcohol they’re drinking.]
Mon dieu, I can see why you would keep him around! I knew that claims of being a mere scholar belied his athletic performance. A part of me would feel a little jealous, were it not for current circumstances!
He doesn't like the attention, I guess. I can't fathom why he puts the effort in to work out in the first place, but I can't complain about the results.
[But wait. Kaveh's mind, addled with alcohol, just caught onto something and focused like a laser.]
"Current circumstances", Lyney? Now, don't hold out on me!
Well, I suppose that's one redeeming feature about him, given the shortcomings of his personality and design sense.
[Yes, he will shittalk Alhaitham just a bit. But when Kaveh picks up on his little tidbit, Lyney grins knowingly, bringing his wine glass up to his lips.]
Now, now, don't you know that a gentlemen should never kiss and tell?
[He says the words coyly while taking a sip from his wine. But he can't exactly keep Kaveh in suspense forever.]
But if you must know, you aren't the only one who's met someone who can provide you with... exemplary results.
Hmm~! Well well, you're certainly one for seeking out details, aren't you Mr. Kaveh?
[Lyney lets out a knowing chuckle, taking another slow sip from his wine. Yes, he is the pure image of the smug cat right now. But he's not calling out Kaveh because he's admonishing the architect, but rather because he finds the whole thing amusing.]
But, I suppose I could let you in on a few details! For one, he is quite handsome, and intelligent to boot. And quite the attentive lover, as well~
A thief? You think he'll try to steal my heart? Oh Kaveh, don't worry, I am far too clever for a trick like that!
[Can't catch feelings if you don't want them, right? Right.]
Hmm... Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to let you know... [He offers a knowing grin.] Have you met the young man from Inazuma? With the pretty hair the colour of wine and piercing peridot eyes?
[Kaveh blinks, and considers this, swirling the wine in his glass. Hmm...Heizou's quite smart, and good-hearted, if a little sassy...and while he's not at all Kaveh's type, he can definitely see that he's quite the handsome lad.]
You've excellent taste, my friend. And moved rather quickly, too, didn't you?
[Lyney lets out another knowing chuckle, taking a sip of wine.]
Perhaps I had, but the setting was just perfect for such a union! It was during the Dragon's Gale festival, and what better way to celebrate a festival of love than... well, making it?
[Lyney also laughs happily, looking like the cat that got the cream. If he shared the same traits as his sister, his tail would be swaying in satisfaction.]
He certainly has! I was certain that it would be a one-time thing, but Heizou has been quite the pleasurable company these last few weeks. It's been rather enjoyable, our time together!
[What? Who? Certainly not him, he's immune to such feelings!]
Well, that's good to hear! I may be quite kind to those I consider family, but even I have things I don't like sharing with others.
[He says it with a playful wink. But there's something in his expression that suspiciously reads like relief. Was he worried about what Kaveh would think?]

[Spill the deets??]
no subject
[Kaveh laughs, and tips his head, a rather...mischievous smile on his face.]
Now, I don't want to be crude, but he's just as exacting and methodical as when he fights, or reads, or does his research. Precise...and relentless.
[It's a miracle Kaveh can walk, actually.]

[Mostly due to his own recent forays.]

[But enough about Alhaitham! Kaveh is leaning farther forward in his chair, eyes bright with the joy of gossip.]
Oh, come on now, you can give me more than that. Who are they? Are they pretty? Handsome?
no subject
[Lyney lets out a knowing chuckle, taking another slow sip from his wine. Yes, he is the pure image of the smug cat right now. But he's not calling out Kaveh because he's admonishing the architect, but rather because he finds the whole thing amusing.]

no subject
[He laughs, and drains his glass again. How many is he on? Doesn't matter, he feels fantastic.]
Attentive, hmmmm? So he took good care of you, did he? I'm surprised you're spending the night drinking with me, then.
no subject
Oh yes. Took care of all my needs, and was so careful and considerate! But of course, also thorough and very satisfying.
Alas, he's a busy man, and we can't spend all our time together. But that doesn't mean we haven't spent time together frequently~
no subject
[Kaveh can see the shape of what's happening and he is DELIGHTED.]
Not going to let even a single hint of his identity slip, are you?

[Kaveh laughs merrily, and leans his elbow on the bar so he can rest his face against his hand.]
But it's been a couple weeks since then...my, has he kept you busy, Lyney~?
no subject
[Lyney also laughs happily, looking like the cat that got the cream. If he shared the same traits as his sister, his tail would be swaying in satisfaction.]
He certainly has! I was certain that it would be a one-time thing, but Heizou has been quite the pleasurable company these last few weeks. It's been rather enjoyable, our time together!
no subject
[Kaveh is smiling over the rim of his wine glass like the little shit he is.]
no subject
Perhaps I am... but it also helps that he has the right tool for the job, and knows how to use it.
no subject
[Kaveh has a very knowing smirk. At least he thinks that's the expression he's making.]
no subject
[A little hint of possessiveness? Perhaps... but it's not like they're an item or anything... still...]
no subject
Don't you worry about that. I'm completely satisfied with what I'm already given, Lyney.
[Heizou is very much not his type, either. But he can see what's happening. And you don't have a clue!]
no subject
Well, that's good to hear! I may be quite kind to those I consider family, but even I have things I don't like sharing with others.
[He says it with a playful wink. But there's something in his expression that suspiciously reads like relief. Was he worried about what Kaveh would think?]
no subject
I've never made a habit of taking what's not mine, especially when it's not offered to me.
[Except if it's Alhaitham's wallet. That's Different.]
Besides...and I mean no offense...but Heizou isn't quite my type, is he?
[Kaveh likes them tall.]
no subject
[He seems relieved by Kaveh's words, and puffs up proudly, not unlike a cat being allowed to keep its toy.]
No offence taken! After all I do seem to recall that you prefer your partners to be on the tall, dark, and mysterious side, isn't that right?
no subject
I don't know that I'd describe him as mysterious, but he certainly has a much...different air about him to Heizou, we can agree on that.
no subject
Oh, he certainly is different, make no mistake about that!
[He sighs, swirling his wine in the cup.]
Perhaps mysterious isn't the right word... he's more like a puzzle box. The more you unlock, the more hidden compartments you discover.
