Annoyed! [ Bastien twists his head to look at him, as well as he's able without dislodging him. ] What could possibly be annoying about living in this beautiful, friendly city and overseeing this group of well-behaved and agreeable people?

Are you sure you were not just hungry?

[bouchonne]

Hmm.

[ He pouts pensively. ]

Why? Did you bring snacks along with you for this grand romantic gesture?

[cozen]

Alas, no.

[ He twists a little further, pausing the hand massage, because he can't not kiss a pout. That's what pouts are for. Quickly, though. It's not quite a peck—warm and a little lingering—but content to stay short and simple and not segue into face-sucking. ]

And don't call this a grand romantic gesture. That is an insult to grand gestures. It is a humble romantic fidget.

[bouchonne]

[ A laugh ruins the kiss a bit, since it's dreadfully hard to kiss back when you're grinning. ]

Sorry, sorry. Well, I'd suggest getting food, but I also don't want to move. Why are we both so bloody destitute? This is the precise moment a servant would be useful.

[ Not quite making himself comfortable again yet, because maybe they will move— ]

Don’t you have an assistant?

[ Not serious. ]

[bouchonne]

Do you trust young Artemaeus to keep his mouth shut about our canoodling?

[cozen]

Oh, no, I would have to get up and look respectable. No question.
