He chuckled as she took interest in his craft and started to shift closer, posing him a scenario in which he needed to earn the affections of a woman with some kind of adornment, her dual tone gaze sparkling with teasing in the low evening light. He chuckled and hummed thoughtfully. He had crafted many a gift for his lovers so there was plenty of options for him to pick from in his past experiences, ones that had gone over well and which ones he had ended up avoiding in the future. But the real challenge came in with tailoring his answer to fit something that his latest conquest might enjoy or want for herself. It was the one gift his skills had given him - the ability to spoil and surprise the ladies he wanted to keep.
"Well... Hypothetically of course..." he mused with a grin. "Perhaps a necklace inlayed with sapphires or turquoise or maybe topaz. I do like a bit of contrast in the pieces I make." His head tipped thoughtfully as he sized her up, his eyes curious. "Although, maybe my lady would prefer something a little more useful, eh? A piece of armor perhaps?" He pulled himself to his paws and crossed the small distance between them before settling down closer to her, putting her within reach of his large, worn paws.
An evident hunger lingered in his light green eyes while a grin pulled at his lips. His paw trailed along her back and sides, tracing out where he would have the fitted armor land as he described it. "Maybe a base of supple leather so that it fits well to the curve of their body and is comfortable to wear... Have it cover the chest, follow the curve of the ribs here, end here right before the hip. Then the question comes of what we put over that base layer though, eh? Can't have a beautiful woman wearing any old piece of armor." His claws lightly followed the swish of electric blue that adorned her shoulder before moving on to the one that covered her side, his gaze lingering on hers all the while. He knew he was being extraordinarily forward, but hadn't she been the same?
"I'm thinking... Small pieces of metal placed all over the armor like scales. Protective, but still flexible and adaptable. It takes a long time to make, but I'm sure she's worth it. Perhaps if she's truly spectacular I'd take the time to inlay some gems into some of the scales to create some patterns or accent something about her body that I find particularly beautiful... Something to make that armor as dazzling as she is." He smirked and brought a paw up to her chin, lightly holding her jaw in his paw as he brought his muzzle to hers, his lips just a breath away from touching hers. "How does that sound?"
