"Do you think you will be missed?" Yussa holds Caleb's gaze, intent and interested. Realizing he should clarify less that sounds more like a threat than an invitation, he adds: "Should you return to your friends before too long?"
While it is not truly possible for the Nein to come looking for Caleb in Yussa's tower, he would really prefer they not try, or press Wensforth for admittance anywhere else. Yussa doubts the goblin would yield to any such demands, but he would still prefer his assistant not have to endure them all the same. His fingers curl, stroking lightly along Caleb's cheek. The mutual agreement is exciting, but he can wait if he must for the sake of ensuring they are not interrupted.
Yussa can feel the warmth in Caleb's cheek and he is close enough to hear the quiet catch in the younger man's breath. Gods but it is satisfying to feel so desired. Clearly age and experience have not robbed him of that delight, which is rather gratifying to discover.
