if haoyu had known that ondine considered him well-behaved he might have snickered. while he definitely used to be a well-behaved little boy, he definitely hadn't grown up to be one since his teenage years. but that suited haoyu just fine, because he didn't particularly wish to be seen as well-behaved. no, he wanted to be seen as someone who was independent and got what he wanted, when he wanted it and from whoever he wanted it. he would throw his charms into the situation, and manipulate it however he wished to get the end result haoyu was most satisfied with. honestly, haoyu saw no issues with his chosen way of life.
as it stood, it had worked quite well for him this evening as he got cake and coffee out of it. the pleasant company was a mere bonus. and if ondine wanted to meet him again, well, that was also often the natural outcome whenever people were charmed by haoyu. but ultimately, it was up to the demigod to decide whether he wanted another encounter to happen.
that blush which dusted ondine's round cheeks pink had not come as a surprise but to see it remained a pleasure for haoyu, who got a thrill out of getting these reactions out of people. upon ondine mentioning the orcas, haoyu had raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything, as he wasn't in the mood for spilling his secret of not being able to swim. ondine may have in mind to go swimming together, haoyu wasn't too sure, but he would not so readily agree. instead, he simply kept smiling warmly at the demigoddess.
at the mention that ondine's apartment was very girly, he had chuckled and shrugged. "i don't mind~ i wouldn't have expected anything else from a pink-haired lady such as yourself~" he teased her, eyes twinkling. "and you are free to tell me all about the ocean's treasures if you like." haoyu was actually honest there, as he himself loved nature a lot. he was as curious as anyone to know what large bodies of water held secret within their bosom.
however, as their conversation proceeded and they ate their cakes, haoyu had naturally paid a bit more attention to his cake, digging in as he saw fit because he was actually a little bit hungry. he hadn't known that chocolate had collected in the corner of his mouth and so, when ondine suddenly reached out, he had first flinched - unable to suppress the natural reaction. but ondine's hands were gentle as she wiped at his mouth with a napkin.
haoyu immediately responded to her gesture by leaning in himself, and closing the gap between them considerably. his lips curled into a cute smile as he tilted his head to the side a little - a strand of long hair falling into his face. "thank you, ondine.." he practically purred. "is there anything left anywhere else?" he asked innocently, pouting his lips a little as he opened his mouth just slightly.
ondine's gesture had told haoyu that he'd had food stuck in the corner of his mouth and he was now using that moment to flirt a little, albeit covertly. the fork he'd held in his hand had already been placed back onto the plate, and the plate was shoved to the side a little when haoyu had leaned in. the demigod blinked slowly as he watched ondine's facial expression, noticing every little change now that he was quite up close and personal.
