"Shy, indeed," Laurent quips with a fond smile. The shy ones, the sweet ones, they're often so delicious. But so, too, are the wicked ones, though in a vastly different way. He flashes a knowing look to Elyas, the sort that commends his beloved for his choice in companion. What a charming lover Piero will make, a wonderful first for them to share together in this new place, in their new home.

Laurent releases Elyas' arm to move around to Peiro's other side. Slipping his arm around the young man's, he began to lead them toward the villa. "What foods do you like, sweet Piero? We shall dine on the terrace. Even in the dark, the view is breathtaking. And the sound of the sea is so calming." Laurent chuckles and offers a fond grin. "Though you must be more accustomed to it than those of us who have just arrived here."
