[The fingers curl over his neck just so. Of course, his pulse would heighten at that. From the excitement, from the danger. All Elysium needs to do is just squeeze-]

[But he doesn't. He didn't expect him too, but its nice regardless. Is Elysium trying such things because of him? Toying the line? What else can he tug him into, what else can he make him consider, even if he doesn't act on it?]

[But we're people, first. Aren't we?]

Ha. See, even those metaphors are becoming a mess.

[An exhale, moving to rub a little from jawline to throat where those fingers were. A sea to drown the sun. A man to drown another man into himself, yet the man could burn him, tear his masks away, let his face be seen by the light. Dangerous. This may not be wandering into the territory of actual harm anymore, he thinks, but maybe this is worse.]

[His eyes flick back to Elysium's face.]

But regardless. People are kinda more dangerous as they are, though. A man can make you do things a sun or a sea can never do. Think about it.
