[ Anakin smirks, though his expression shifts to something more thoughtful. He studies Mat's face with more intensity than probably needed. He knows his friend is certainly handsome, but he'd never had to consider something like his own personal attraction to him before.
Huh. ]
When you're from a place where your options don't stop at 'human', it seems silly to be hung up by something like gender.
[ He doesn't really know if it's a type, exactly, but there has to be a little correlation, right? Mat is definitely easy on the eyes, and they're already friendly... ]
Suppose that makes sense. Don't have a variety of options where I come from, then being in a tiny village...my options were very slim indeed.
[Most of his dalliances were had at festival time, when all the little villages of the Two Rivers came together to celebrate. Sometimes there were as many as a hundred and half folks, all in one place! Of course that's hardly impressive now...]
And if that's your attempts at flirting, I should let you know, I'm no great lover of the coy approach.
[Either employing it or being on the receiving end. Just leaves too much up to interpretation and guessing. He hates having to dance around some double-layered conversation just to determine if someone's interested in a roll in the sheets or not. He'd assumed Anakin was not, and so never made much effort to test if he's right or not.
The fact that everyone is so limited, even in a place like this, is still strange to me.
[ Anakin chuckles, topping off his drink and setting the empty flute aside. ] No? And why not? You certainly deserve the chase. You should let yourself be wooed every once in a while.
[ Then again, it's not as though they're speaking of romance. They've made that distinction quite clear at this point. He still thinks his own point is valid, though. Mat does deserve to be wooed. ]

Apparently he might have been wrong. Fancy that.]
