Could SEE it in his eye, or feel it the way his hand reached out to her, knuckle softly tracing its edge across her cheek.

Cold flesh meeting warmth it craved.

The Pilot hissed and purred softly, head cocking once more as she teased and played with her words.

My he was so. . . So bird-like at times, always cocking his head, always chirping and hissing, always watching with thay curious eye. . .

Would it be too cliche to say he already accepted? That she-

What was left of his flesh was rough, scales and hide densely packed but even more so pocketed in scars. The seam between Meat and Metal was faded, as if whoever did install his bionics cared more for the aesthetic than the purpose.

Goodness, she was forward. He almost didn't mind it. . . Oh to be young and full of bravado and bravery.

The voice replied quickly with the smallest hint of artificial amusement. Added by an extra tap or so to make sure the coy joke worked out.

His cheek creased slightly with a raise, at least the amusement was visible in-

The rumble of a chuckle left his throat as the voice chirped out. He wasn't one to judge but. . .

Well. He wasn't exactly in his prime.

The Baron's eye playfully quirked at her comment, mandibles tapping together in amusement at her almost coy response.

His fingers danced across the Vambrace once more, dragging another sentence to bear.

"𝘼𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝘼𝙢 𝙄 𝙣𝙤𝙩. . .𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪? 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙗𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙖 𝙩𝙖𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧."
