[Ah....goodbye, lovely scales and general shirtlessness....he'll miss you....
....and ugh, how did you work it out so quickly, it's almost like...you know him and the way he works...]
Well if I'd known that, I would've just let you keep it off.
[He will get serious, though, even if it's...difficult, to stop hiding behind the teasing comments.]
...and I know, mon ami. It's more that...
[...]
...well, I like our time-and-place strategy for discussing the...harder topics. For this sort of thing, I'd rather keep it light, you know? We deserve a balance of both. That's not to say I'm avoiding things, but...
I'm not insisting on discussing anything now. But you know how I am with accepting high praise from you.
[Because if you let him describe it, things tend to always be not that impressive, or not worth discussing, or not good enough or not perfected yet or not to his standards or- ...you get the idea.]
[...he does get the idea, thoroughly, which is why it's so frustrating...he'll compliment you, and you'll want to argue the point or just dismiss it, and it all becomes...very stupid and more than a little bit depressing. You're like the sun to him, mon ami...let him praise you...especially since you love to hit him with those extreme compliments with no warning....
...]
...I can always make it mediocre praise, instead? I'll create a few examples, if you like.
[Especially if it will amuse you! Hang on, let him have a macaron (and he'll offer the tray to you, as well - come on, have some sugar).]
Such as....hm! It is...okay, I suppose, that you can use Mega Evolution. I am mildly impressed with your skills at debate. You look slightly-above-average with your shirt open.
[...every time you call him that his heart beats a bit faster...
...
...things he will not vocalise, wow, he doesn't need you getting any more smug...]
Oh, don't you start that again. I think you're just going to shift that definition as it suits you, particularly when my gestures are involved. Am I wrong?
[Gotta abuse that loophole while it's still open!]
I mean, I don't mind getting creative with how I express my feelings for you. That's workable.
[He was quite proud of those 'average compliments'! Especially since, you know. They were 100% successful in terms of their aim. He's not a professor for nothing, etc.
...]
Some of them might require you to take that jacket off again, though. Maybe a few more things, as well.
[If you don't think that came with a cheesy wink...]
[Although that does bring up an interesting point....]
...how did you want to deal with our moonblessings, going forward? If we avoid each other for them, including the triple moon, we lose 13 days. That's almost half a month.

...I really am proud of you, you know. If the excited babbling didn't get my point across enough.
no subject
I'm glad to hear it, Augustine. And that I was able to let you know.
no subject
...since he's so subtle, usually, and you couldn't have worked it out without the energetic reaction but. look. it's mega evolution, it's special.]
Me too.
[And they didn't even need the goats! Look at them, getting through all these Topics.
...a quick distraction might be in order, though, so-]
You can put the jacket back on now, if you like. If you must! I will allow it.
no subject
Well, as long as I have your permission.
[He'll at least start to do up his shirt again, although...]
...I'm all right, you know. You don't have to try to distract me.
[He knows what you're doing, okay.]
no subject

[......]
....what do you think? Good?
no subject
It does get him to laugh, though, genuinely. Lord...]
Mon cheri, you are impossible, you know that?
no subject
(well don't bother, because he's doing it anyway!)]
What? I thought that was quite clever!
[Just...let him stroke your face a bit, all right, this is....look...just.....]
...you look...very average when you laugh. Thoroughly!
no subject
Well. You're very cute when you blush like that, so you're making up enough for the both of us.
no subject
Am I really?
[Oh how embarrassing....this isn't right, he's the one who is supposed to be teasing you...]
no subject
[LYSANDRE.]
no subject
Well...I'm glad you think so.
[Let him retain some dignity, and not look like a schoolboy with a crush. Somehow.]
I don't get like this for just anyone, you know! You're special.
no subject
[Just saying and all.]
As it stands, I like having this all to myself.
no subject
....hopefully that blush will go down a bit if he just. buries his face into your shoulder.]
You're the only person who makes me feel like this, so don't worry. I'm all yours.
[...that might be somewhat muffled, but you know.
...]
...although if you subject me to five full days of your compliments, during Cordis, I might not make it.
no subject

[Gotta abuse that loophole while it's still open!]
no subject
I believe you were the one that called it that.
Besides, I can't imagine what would make you think such a thing.
no subject
[Come on, that hair-playing is cheating...you know it's super effective...
...feels good though, don't stop.]
Am I allowed to bring a few presents for the Cordis period, at least? Five days is a long time, you know. Otherwise I might have to get creative.
no subject
[...He's trying, all right.]

no subject
[Just...not now, all right.]
no subject
You're right, I'm sorry. We can save that for Cordis as well.
[Let him cuddle up to you a bit, resting a light hand on your stomach.]
...is this helping, a little? With the emotional symptoms? If you start feeling it strongly, I'm happy to leave and give you space.
