Stay your pretty eyes on course...

Ganymede moved, shifting to a more comfortable lounge as he gently placed the jar of willow bark and ginger down so that it clinked against the one he had been using for the lavender. His focus was solely on how Ultyr had decided to lay down, unhurried, and made his own decision to match the other’s usual forwardness by raking his eyes over the earthen man’s body. Humming as he admired his physique with pale lilac eyes, he was no stranger to the power those muscles held, having fought the other and seen him both hunt and take on opponents. Though he would keep those thoughts to himself, Ultyr had a big enough ego as is without him stroking it further.

Instead, he leaned back and vaguely away from him, crossing one of his long legs over the other with the same practiced grace that anyone of royal lineage would have. He did keep one hand on the jar holding the contents of their discussion though, periodically tipping it just slightly to tap it against the lavender jar. As far as Ganymede was concerned, he held all the cards right now during this playful banter. Was everything that Ultyr had worked for on their travels, and with ease he could simply cut off the sweet talk and give the other the cold shoulder and silence instead. He wouldn't though, he was enjoying this all. If the stormlit boy was honest, this sense of ease and comfort was nice…something he hadn't had for a long time, there was also the edge of it being something he hadn’t ever had for himself. Honest companionship. He liked it.

"Why... do I think those side effects might be more enjoyable than bothersome?" Pulled from his thoughts, Gany grinned wide as he tipped the jar again with a hum. Tilting his head, he looked out at all the other plants that seemed to grow in abundance here, sure that if he went looking he could find some ginseng hidden amongst the other plants. "What side effects are we talking about here?" Mischief sparked across his eyes as he looked back to the smirk coloring Ultyr’s muzzle before putting on a bit of a show with humming as he played up ‘whether or not he wanted to tell him.

"It can make one more virile, and fertile, increasing libido as well for the taker. Though I'm sure those aren't side effects you're wanting, we can find something easier to take with fewer extra effects." Flirtation and playfulness coloring each word as he watched him with a half-lidded gaze, well aware that he was likely pushing buttons even if they would not prompt anger and aggression.
