"I've got Triple Attack!" he says brightly. "And Double Strafe, and my cloaking is better than Alph's was when you left the Academy. Oh, I can make poison out of thin air." It turns out that most other people take a lot longer than him to be able to do that and they've been calling him a prodigy just like they do Vallynn but saying that apparently counts as talking about his guildmates. Except it's fine if Vallynn already knew in advance that that's meant to be badass? This enchantment is trippy.

"...like an actual liquid? Or just make weapons you're wielding be magically poisonous?"

He cups his hands together and a clear odourless liquid starts appearing there out of nowhere. Then he drinks it and starts to lick his hands clean.

"...are you doing that on purpose?"

"Doing what?" he asks, slowly running his tongue between his fingers while holding eye contact with Vallynn.

He swallows. "You're immune to your own poison, then?"

"Mmhm," he says, putting his fingers into his mouth and sucking on them one by one.

"Now you're just being crass, you didn't need to do that."

"Oh but I did," he says, in a low voice. "Even skin contact can be painful so I need to make sure I'm completely safe when I've got three fingers knuckle deep in you."

He swallows again. "Bounties?"

"I think," he says, slowly, leaning over closer to Vallynn, "that I want you to show me your room." And he pulls Vallynn in for a kiss.

It stings a bit.

"...you got a piercing here?"

"Don't like it?"

"It's hot at fuck but looks like it must've been really painful."

"It wasn't that bad. And it gets me to see you salivating like that over it."

He wants to argue but he really can't. He does want it in his mouth.

"...is this piercing where the enchantment is? Are all rogues pierced down there?"

"So, why are you here?"

"To visit you; why else?"

"You came all the way to Geffen just to visit me?"

"I said I was gonna! And it's on the Kafra network, I can just teleport here."

"I mean, yeah, but it's expensive and I had kind of expected it to mostly only happen once we were more established as adventurers and able to make proper money. ...I suppose you are rich."

"I am?"

"I saw the daggers you had hanging off the rack back at the Academy. That was money."

"Nothing does get past you."
