Ah, so you did pick up on the point of my dessert comment after all.

[ Just saying. Sylvain's too sharp to have not read into that exactly what it meant, let alone has it in his repertoire based on the use now, but. Claude's delighted anyway, and as Sylvain signals the server he withdraws his legs to sit up properly with a smirk conveniently hidden behind his glass while finishing the last of what's in it.

There should probably be a limit to misbehaving when it comes to here alone. When the server returns he flashes them a premade smile as an automatic reaction as they whisk the leftovers away before his focus goes right back to Sylvain. ]

Anticipation get to be a little too much to handle, did it?

Can you blame me?

[ Sylvain had slipped the server an extra few coins as he paid them, both as a tip and a request to have the food sent back to their hotel for them so they didn't need to carry it themselves. Then, grabbing the remaining bottle of wine in one hand, he reaches out the other to Claude in invitation. ]

Come on, there's one more place I want to take you.

[ He's got a flippant remark ready for that in regards to blame and possibly also whether he'd been counting on the answer to that being no, but then Sylvain stands and it's not with an invitation back to their hotel. Or - it's theoretically not, since surely that would've been phrased as much.

Claude raises an eyebrow as his first reaction, but: the method of saying there's somewhere yet to go but not telling him where or any specifics is an effective one. Something Sylvain certainly knows by now, and so it's with no hesitation Claude reaches out to take the hand offered while getting up from his seat. ]

I take it this is another stage of me learning you're full of surprises.

What, you didn't know that already? Shocking. And here I thought you'd been paying attention.

[ He tsk's his tongue in mock disappointment as he helps tug Claude to his feet and then tucks his hand against his arm as he casts him a playful wink. He's definitely not giving away any of his secrets just yet. Just leads him out the door and into the dark streets beyond. ]

( moving this over here just in case. )
