Lucio smiled warmly over at Isaac at his softly spoken compliment and he was on his way to responding before he was interrupted yet again. He had grown to assume that that would be a common theme at this party, however, and it didn't bother him in the slightest that Deandra pushed herself into the conversation. In fact, her comment left Lucio with a goofy grin on his face and he turned his head and his his features briefly in Ansel's shoulder to disguise the embarrassing expression.He bid the group goodbye, unable to wipe the smile off of his face not as he laced his fingers together with Ansel's and wandered off after him happily.<br/><br/>The student followed his professor quietly through the condo, and the pair of them ended up in a quiet back hall before Ansel led him through a doorway into a room which he assumed was the bedroom Johanna had detailed earlier. He followed the man in and looked around curiously, admiring the meticulously kept condition that the entire apartment was in. It looked like something straight from a catalog, and most certainly like somewhere Lucio himself wouldn't mind living. He looked over at Ansel and smiled, nodding at his gentle instruction. He moved over to the foot of the bed and laid his backpack down there, moving to pull it open and fish two items from the inside. One was a sleek, black, rectangular box with an emblem inlaid on the front that appeared to be an ace of spades playing card. The second was an unknown object bundled up neatly in plain black wrapping. It was rectangular in shape as well, though a bit smaller and flatter than the first box.<br/><br/>While he drew out the two items he listened quietly to all Ansel had to say and when he was finished he chuckled softly, commenting, "You should know by now that nothing makes me uncomfortable, my dear," but he nodded all the same. "I believe those four liked me at the very least. All of them except perhaps the tall, dark haired one; Oliver, was it?" he observed quietly as he stacked the two items atop one another before turning back to face his companion, his champagne still held in one hand as he balanced the boxes carefully in the other.<br/><br/>He surveyed his partner for a few moments as they stood their facing each other in silence and he pursed his lips thoughtfully before moving up towards him and leaning in. He simply could deny himself one quick peck on the lips before stepping back and nodding his head politely at Ansel as he smiled. "Lead the way, love. I'd rather not have your sister charge in and bite our heads off for hiding away for too long . . . Seems like something she might do based off of what I've gathered so far," he said lightheartedly, still balancing the gifts in one hand and his half full glass in the other.
