[Okay, well, in that case! He can get it together enough to tease. A bit. Via a very put-upon pout and a returned hand squeeze to show he isn't nearly as serious as he might seem.]
Oh? That's all of them? That's not very many things, you know.
That's different! You go and do that when I'm already calm!! But even that, it's like.... I can't go getting all keyed up and angry if yer just poking fun at me how you do.
[ Oh no, he has to think up more words to describe Celeste...? Crap, it's his turn to look a little sheepish, glancing away slightly. ]
No? There's other stuff, sure. I like listening to you when you talk about anything since you have a nice voice, and I like how you smell, even if my sense of smell isn't as good as it should be right now.
[ Look, if Celeste wants more compliments, he's getting them. Prepare to die of embarrassment, vampire. ]
Then there's how talented you are. You kept going on during all the breaks between other acts, and there was always something different. You know, at the market. It was so the audience wouldn't wander away, and everyone else performing would get a chance to show off, too, right?
[Eli looks away, but that really just gives Celeste a prime chance to nuzzle into his temple, being fully sappy and pressing gentle kisses as he talks. If he has to die of embarrassment, then so do you.]
Hm... I could take that as you asking me to be more vocal, you know.
[He might be deflecting just a bit. For the sake of mutual flustering, of course.
Though, man, he really can't counter how bad he's read to filth about the market, and he has to huff out something between a sigh and a laugh.]
And here I thought no one had noticed. It wasn't as though I wouldn't have anyway, but...
[But he is right - ensuring the stage always had something going on meant everyone else's acts would always have someone around to see them.]
[ Goddd, why are they banned from fooling around in the soundproof room? How could McGillis do this to them? Because thinking about that is... a lot. At least Eli will keep it to simply looking up at Celeste after all the little kisses and hopefully asking, ]
I mean, you could start by showing me how to stretch out like you do?
[ And if they happen to be wearing very little during that, that's fine; he doesn't have to mention that. ]
[ Eli avoided making it sound lewd, but then Celeste had to go there, huh? Eli's gaze drifts to the table, which is currently full of plates of food, thinking. About that. ]
Nnnno. [ Because McGillis! Banned this! Here! ] We could use the temple again if we need the space. It's even emptier than ever lately.

[...Okay, having a hand end up on his leg makes it worth it, and he's rather quick to put his own hand over Eli's, lacing their fingers together.]
That all is besides the point, right now.
[But is it?]
no subject
[ He gives Celeste's hand a squeeze. ]
There's reasons everyone here thinks you're hot as well and those are all of 'em.
no subject
Oh? That's all of them? That's not very many things, you know.
[Compliment him more, please and thank you.]
no subject
Yer real good at calmin' people down and comforting them too! Like a mom!!!
[DON'T CALL HIM A MOM WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO SWING A THREESOME???]
no subject
Am I? You often end up more worked up than when I started.
[Though usually about something silly and inconsequential instead, granted.]
no subject
That's different! You go and do that when I'm already calm!! But even that, it's like.... I can't go getting all keyed up and angry if yer just poking fun at me how you do.
no subject
So you are just... keyed up in other ways, I see.
[The angry barking is all a blustery defense mechanism... he's been handed a Weapon.]
no subject
See that's what I'm talking about!!!!
no subject
What~?
no subject
[Trolling for a good cause.]
no subject
And you... don't actually mind this.
[He would mind. But he also kind of suspects Izou likes to bark, too.]
no subject
Now that I know you ain't just doin' it to make fun of me? Not really.
Least.... I'm pretty sure it's not that.

they're disasters ur honor

no subject
...it's not like you're quiet, Celeste.
[ Although Eli is much louder. ]
And of course, I noticed! I know my attention span is shit sometimes, but when I have something I need to focus on, I notice everything about it!
[ Which is to say he was focusing solely on Celeste a lot of the time he was meant to be selling cookies, oops. Well. Celeste already knew that. ]
no subject
And you're not making them figure that out?
[At least they're only broadcasting their sex life details in a private room rented for the express purpose of sharing sex life details.]
And here I thought you were more focused on selling cookies.
[Okay, yeah, he did realize he'd been watching him for most of the day, but he can still call him out.]
no subject
[ Aaaah, fuck, now he's the one starting to go red. ]
I could do both! Kind of! Mostly... crap... okay, no, you already know I was staring the whole time, c'mon.
no subject
[Yeah, this is revenge. He'll definitely pepper a bunch of light little kisses all over that blush, though.]
You know I'll show off for you whenever you want. You just need to ask~
[...Honestly he does mean that in both sexy or not as sexy contexts.]
no subject
I mean, you could start by showing me how to stretch out like you do?
[ And if they happen to be wearing very little during that, that's fine; he doesn't have to mention that. ]

Oh, of course~
[They can sure use "gotta be able to see everything to learn how" as an excuse for wearing very little.
...And can use the "show me how" as an excuse for quite a lot of touching, too, actually.]
There isn't the space to here, unless you'd like me on the table, though~
[And, you know, there's the "McGillis has banned fooling around" problem, too. But he can sure put the mental image out there.]
