Rio was surprised to be clocked so quickly into this encounter. “Adept observation,” he muses with an impressed smirk. “Am I that obvious to read? But I suppose I’m too used to being around clueless mortals who couldn’t tell a werewolf from a wendigo… it’s nice to be in the company of fellow greatness, don’t you think?”
Rio watches as Kiaan encroaches closer on him, very much hoping to be joined in the pool sooner than later. “Primeira vez,” Rio responds in the other’s native tongue. “I’m Mexican myself, but I figured it would be uncouth of me to not learn the other Romance languages after a few hundred years of existing… Portuguese is one of my favorites. Sadly underused, in my humble opinion.” He lounges back against the tile wall, causing his toned chest to rise from the water, revealing his perky nipples. “If I were hiding, that stunning face of yours would be enough to convince me to come out of my shell. Maybe come in other ways too.”
“I’ve met a couple mermen before, you all give off a watery vibe,” he replied with a wink. He had spent enough time in the castle to have a general idea of many of the different species in the world. “You’re definitely in a much better place for that.”
Hearing him respond in Portuguese was oddly exciting. Maybe it was because he hadn’t spoken his native language in what felt like forever. “I am always very willing to speak in Portuguese with you if you’re feeling up to it. Unfortunately, I don’t know many others.” Maybe he should, he had time to learn. Kiaan’s eyes were drawn to the man’s chest, admiring him. “Well, I’m sure we could arrange that.” He could never say no to someone so handsome expressing interest in him.
