Clyde didn't often talk about his past. Certainly he didn't talk much about Syliras or his family. Sayana's comment then wasn't surprising to him, as she'd only ever known him as he was now- a mage.
Taking that and imagining him otherwise, as a worker, a laborer, seemed silly by comparison. Like seeing a attack dog, and imagining it dressed up with bows and put before children.
As they progressed in the conversation Sayana's reactions changed, going from a almost laugh at his being a laborer, to flirting bordering on distracting, to anger at his initial comment about her being liked. Soon enough that faded as he continued and explained, his initial words as usual not fully explaining and needing the following words to come.
It wasn't long before Sayana proved further distracting, hopping upon him and mounting his lap as she planted a kiss. Clyde, having been away from her for quite some time, reacted quite strongly. He felt her hands upon him, and swept his own free grip around her waist to pull her into a hungry return kiss.
She broke for air for a moment, long enough to speak of nobles and queens, before he pulled her back in for another kiss. Clyde was more focused at the moment on their physical moment in time, and had all but forgotten and pushed aside their prior words.
However before he could truly lose himself Sayana pushed away once more, her request taking several moments to fully register.
His aura? He hadn't really thought about it, but she'd not seen his aura, at least not since her oathing. As he thought on her words he let his one empty hand drift lower down her back, settling on her rump and using that purchase to pull her closer and up against him. Clyde planted another heavy kiss before breaking away. Their eyes scant inches apart, Clyde let out a breath from his mouth- the tips of their noses perhaps an inch apart.
“For you? For today? Yes...”
Bending forward Clyde planted a kiss on her bare neck, letting his lips brush against her neck flesh afterwards.
“But it'll cost you.”
Pulling back up Clyde met Sayana's eyes, a grin on his face.
“In exchange, when we get back to Ravok... I get to buy you something nice, to show you off in. And something a bit more... Comfortable... For only me to see you in. Deal?”
