[onlythans]

i'm told it's half skill and half natural talent
unfortunately i can't speak to the skill business

as mine was all natural talent

[reprisings]

Ooh, listen to you. All nimble fingers.

[ Oh, she could say so many things to that. Unfortunately, for the moment-- ]

Have you tried pilfering any of the staff or guests yet? Relieving them of some of their chips?

[onlythans]

now, now, i've been elevated out of my circumstances, remember?
no need for all that for the sake of survival anymore

[Which is not, conspicuously, an answer to her question.]

and be careful how you comment on my nimble fingers
or i may well have to seduce you

[reprisings]

[ Well, that's practically an answer. ]

I've already gotten a glimpse of nimble fingers at work.
You're very good at undressing people, I'll admit.

[onlythans]

oh, i'm even better at certain pursuits one is disinclined to mention in polite company

and were i a bit less of a gentleman i might ask you whether you've been properly pleased by a man before

[reprisings]

Don't tell me you think I'm polite company after needing to pry a dress off of me, even under purely innocent circumstances. You needn't stop to spare my eyes.

My goodness, Thancred. You know, I was going to say I have been, but now I'm not too certain any longer.

[onlythans]

well, darling, if you can't say for certain then i daresay that's an answer in itself

you deserve to have a man get on his knees for you in ways that have naught to do with matrimony

[reprisings]

[ Oh, she's so irritated that she can feel heat in her cheeks at that. ]

I'm very much not used to men caring about this sort of thing. Usually, they only have thoughts for their own pleasure.

[onlythans]

aye, that is a common failing of the unfairer sex
whether it be from a lack of care or mere ignorance

still, i'll make you an offer
if ever you think you'd relish a bit of dabbling, you needn't do a thing for me at all

and meanwhile i'll make certain that's not the only reason it's an encounter you never forget

[reprisings]

Well, what's one to say to that? It's a lovely offer.

But I don't like leaving my partner's wanting, either. Not unless that's what they'd prefer.

I'll agree only if you'll allow me to do the same for you. That if you need an escape, I'll make certain you have one, and you needn't worry about satisfying me. Fair?

[onlythans]

would you really
that's terribly kind of you

not altogether necessary, but kind nevertheless

since we're now on terms of extending those sorts of favors to each other, might i continue to be less than gentlemanly with a few more inquiries of my own?

[reprisings]

I think we passed the point of gentlemanly when you discussed being on your knees, Thancred.

You can ask me whatever you'd like.

[onlythans]

very well then

tell me about your favorite thing someone's done to you. in the bedchamber, that is.

[reprisings]

[ THANCRED WATERS ]

It'll sound silly. But I appreciate it when someone is truly able to exhaust me, to keep me going for as long as I'm able. I understand that's not the norm.

[ they touched on that about partners usually only seeing to their needs and that's it. ]

Though, I enjoy knowing I've driven someone past their own point of control. If they slip up, you know, press a little too hard. Forget themselves. It's cute, actually, and then I know I'm doing something right.
