'Tis simply part of what makes you so charming. Though I can only imagine how it may be for someone who doesn't know this of you.
But aye, between the Final Days, and...everything else. Even had I thought you might somehow return such feelings, there was little enough time to dwell on it. Megumi was correct that if this place offers us anything, 'tis the opportunity for chances we'd otherwise not have.
[RIP Moon, watching his flirts bounce off the brick wall that is Estinien... And for all Gaius' confidence up to this point, being asked directly like this sure makes it a little harder than it should to meet Estinien's eye.]
I would like to do a little more than just dwell on it, if I'm to be perfectly honest.
She will fuss regardless. But I suppose that's just her way of showing that she cares.
[And to be fair to Megumi he uh. Did apparently need the push, for this. Otherwise he'd still be chastising Estinien over text and then where would he be? Not sitting here with a lap full of elezen, drawing Estinien down into another, needier kiss, and really, that'd be a damn shame.]
[ Estinien knows that himself. Knows that Megumi cares very much for everyone and everything that she comes across, it is not uncommon to see her pushing people together that have unresolved feelings or helping solve problems she was never obligated to solve. But. That is just her way. At least, what Estinien gathers of it. ]
Aye, you've the right of it.
[ And then he's drawn into another kiss. He's fine with that of course. He was fine with Gaius before he ever kissed him. Did Estinien ever think to look at Gaius this way? No, of course not? He hadn't the time. But the camaraderie they shared is definitely the spark here.
He situates himself more comfortably, lips pressed against Gaius' hungrily. ]

Would you like to dwell on it, Gaius?

[Because Gaius is going to take that as an invitation to pull the man down onto his lap anyway.]

Aye, and you should not hold back from what you want. Lest Megumi fuss at you.
