Elise glanced toward Sarabi when she turned to leave, giving his companion a small nod of her head in return, and let her eyes settle back on Iroh how that they were alone. Having the primate around certainly hadn't inhibited her at all when it came to her flirtatious nature, but she did feel like perhaps she would have the freedom to be a little more direct if the conversation led them that way. She quite liked Iroh so far and as long as he kept showing interest in her in return then she was more than happy to keep giving that back to him. It was all a fun game of banter and testing to see how far she could go. He was incredibly handsome, but his more reserved and proper nature was what really kept her attention. It felt like more of a challenge to fit her usual teasing into this tone of conversation. It was a puzzle and she loved it. The slightest touch of a sly grin pulled at her lips as she watched him listen to her answer and noticed how he reacted to her not so subtle compliment in comparing his presence to all of these fantastical things. She finally seemed to rock him a bit, but he recovered quickly and she appreciated that. "Even better than a dancing bear, I'd say," she replied to his clarification with a small smirk before dipping her head to take a few more small sips of the tea in front of her. There wasn't too much of it left at this point and she was pretty sure she'd finish the bowl of it, though if she was being honest then it was far less interesting in this current moment. When he asked about what she might do once the tea was finished, she lifted her eyes from the bowl of warm liquid in front of her and let her gaze settle on his intriguing eyes once again. They really were the most beautiful mix of colors she had ever seen and they stood out so perfectly from his dark fur. She chuckled softly and lifted her head to look at him fully again, her head tipping slightly to the side as a small grin tugged at her lips. Keeping a knowing grin or amused smirk away from her expression seemed to be impossible - especially when she was so entertained by her current company. Elise studied him for a moment and wondered how far this moment of being more daring would get him. "Well, I think that's something you'll have to decide," she told him, her sapphire eyes challenging him. "I'd be happy to linger with you if you'd like and see if maybe there's something a bit more entertaining than tea to be had here... or I can keep moving and start looking for that dancing bear. Up to you." |
