"Tsh... you would charge me extra for a kiss?" Gareth smirked as he inclined his head slightly at Anel, tracing his fingertip gently down his cheek before withdrawing from him slightly. He chuckled a little at Anel's offer of a massage, glancing slightly over at the couches from the corner of his eye before his gaze returned.<br/><br/>"Oh yes,<em>so</em>stressful," He answered with a sly grin, clearly exaggerating. It was part of the game he and Anel tended to play, teasing each other back and forth, very little of their banter very genuine from either side. He opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Zara's sudden appearance.<br/><br/>He turned his head slightly towards the brunette, grinning as he quietly enjoyed all of the perks having money afforded him. People certainly never competed for his attention like this before he had money. At times it bothered him, but for now he was enjoying the fact that the courtesans were not-so-subtly vying for his affection.<br/><br/>"A pleasure to see you as well, Miss Zara," Gareth said with a slight grin, before his gaze lifted towards Ryan, a playful smirk on his lips as he couldn't help overhearing the admonishment he gave the woman. He looked back at her, winking. "... I suppose you had better deal with that. Don't want the Master upset with you."
