Dorian was too busy reading the latest book that he had found in the marketplace that day. It was a fascinating read, and ever he the scholar to be lost in lost knowledge. This was going to be the perfect end to his day. To retire to his room, to spend most of the evening reading and committing information to memory and then memory into skill.
It had him all giddy and pepped with each step down the hall. He was just about to leave the expansive library of his Master's tower, only to feel cold arms around his chest, and then the ground underneath him. Caught off guard, Dorian blinked in confusion, his book tossed somewhere in the distance, having toppled over another pile of books. Well. Fuck. That was going to take forever to sift through for his book.
Turning his head over his shoulder to look up to the lich as he towered over him, there is a soft and embarrassed blush that covers his cheeks. "Yes. Huzzah. You've caught me. Am I going to be the next pet serving you wine?" It was all a teasing manner as he finds himself holding his weight up and onto his elbows, head held in his right hand.
Don't get him wrong, Dorian was quite amused with this sudden contact and 'game' they were playing. "Or is there a different prize to be won after knocking over your tower of books and mine?"
It wasn't even that the behavior wasn't common for the lich even in sobriety, but perhaps the alcohol had simply thrown him into the hunger for chaos a bit sooner than he typically would have acted. It would process from his glamor soon enough, but he would have no regret for his actions, that much he was certain of.
"That depends," he answered, looking down at Dorian with a smirk. "Is there a prize to be had?" He didn't care about the damned books. They were the last thing on his mind.
His head tipped down and Tareque whispered in his ear, a velvet-like suaveness in his voice. At least he hoped. "Or is it a prize that I have to claim myself?" In his own way, it was a manner of asking consent for any actions he might offer next. A simple thing, but it kept him grounded to the basic expected courtesies of mortal behavior.
"Unless you had other plans in mind for your evening?" His eyes closed as he relished in the warmth he could feel from Dorian's skin, so near to his lips. It took all his restraint not to just curl against him and bask in that.
