[ Stephen isn't one to grin like that all so often, is he? No, more often when Thancred sees him he is either deep in thought over some point of research or exhausted in light of their current crisis. They jest and tease enough that he's seen smirks aplenty, but an open-mouthed smile like that? Quite a bit rarer.
Maybe he's had a few drinks himself.
Thancred merely shrugs at the return of the compliment. He's wooed enough people in his day to be well aware that he's easy on the eyes, and for now he assumes that Stephen's words are mainly out of politeness.
For all that their comments to each other have sometimes verged on more than that, Thancred flirts as easily as he does anything else. He's learned not to make much of it. ]
I suppose you're right. Well, here, you've caught me. [ He places his free hand to his chest and gives a bow of his head. ] I watched your performance earlier, by the way. It was quite eye-catching. [ Eye-catching. Get it? ]
