Blade laughed heartily at Lyari's terms before once again matching her stare with his own, leaning a bit closer so he could test her resolve with his reptilian features. "As much as I would appreciate a free drink I have to concede to your intuition. 'Interesting' is one way you could describe my youth, but in the interest of maintaining the pleasant mood I'd rather avoid that tale. My vocabulary however, is a result of working in close proximity with nobles. They do so enjoy appearing more intelligent than the other, so I picked up on a few things. Like the fact that there are times to be articulate, and then there are times to be more direct."<br/><br/>As Blade spoke, he noted that the woman's gaze was unwavering, in fact it was the opposite. He detected a hunger similar to his own and felt their searching path across his contours, a rarity among those not of his own race. For his part, Blade found it difficult to keep his eyes from drifting to Lyari's gorgeous breasts. He'd always had a soft spot -or hard spot rather- for the more curvy females of other races. And this woman's potential sent goosebumps racing along his spine.<br/><br/>"You impress me Lyari, most men can't match my gaze, foreign as it is, and yet you've outstripped their ability by a large margin." He was silent for a moment as he considered the half-elf before him with cold eyes while a hand reached into his coin purse. "You mentioned that more provocative services are indeed on the menu." There was a light scrape as the argonian splayed a handful of gold across the bar. "Well fortunately for your coffers, I have a full purse and a tireless desire for such carnal affairs." The end of the sentence drifted to a low purr and Blade offered a toothy smirk that seemed to dare Lyari to accept his advances.
