Any other day, Damien would be playing this one so expertly like a flute. He recognized the usual signs of attraction. The voice. The blush, the nervousness. The heat and shiver. And the eyes. Ohh, he was capable of drawing that from people and using it, even increasing it. However.. slight conundrum at the moment. He was feeling it as well. Granted, being who and what he was, he could keep it reigned in and look calm. But it was harder and harder to do. Did he feel the same? Did his thoughts dwell only on this very adorable and good looking mage, and nothing else. Did he want to take him and press him to the wall and snog with lustful and heated abandon? Ohh, gods yes. But control. Needed to hold on to that but it appeared difficult. Oh yes, something was stirring in him. Maybe from them both.
"You're sure?," Damien asked politely, lightly resting a hand on his shoulder. "Because.. well, I should mention. I would be a poor host if I were to not offer aid. I've had practice in relieving people's tensions before, quite successfully. Though many folks really should make it a habit to relax more in their life." His hand rubbed slightly on the shoulder, using his touch to slightly ebb away the unease. "But I'm curious. How you came here, it seemed like magic. Not that I mind. I think it's amazing, really, if you're some sort of young wizard. It's a gift that should be encouraged.. although I know of past ages where it was frowned on, such is not the case here."
