[ oooh... his ears flick into her hands, and seth doesn't seem to mind it - he bows his head a little bit to make it easier, even, because he is Tall and the ears don't help. they are just SO soft. they are SOOO soft and so fluffy, and the little tufts at the top are finally now freed of the last couple of grains of rice. much better!
as for the last part. you think he'd get shy and flustered by that, but instead, he just says in the most earnest and straightforward manner possible, lifting his head up from being picked at to meet her eyes. ]
... Well, you aren't helpless, but, of course I'd provide for you. [ seth says this like this is just a fact! because yeah! ] In that sort of thing, isn't it important for partners to take care of each other?
[she's not throné but lup is still pretty disarmed by the floof. she brushes the rice out, and also fondles his ears. sorry buddy, she can't help herself. she disguises it as like, preening, at least.
the earnest reply to her bullying makes her pause, and she glances at him when he meets her gaze with an amused look.]
Oh, honey. [in that like, lol sort of way, but it's not as mean as it could be. he complimented her, so even if she's incapable of being nice about sincereness, she'll give him this. ] Sure, sure! You would think that, wouldn't you!
[she says like she doesn't also believe this.]
You're like, a cop? That's what you do, right? Insanearooni. Anyway, all the rice is out of your ears. I'm going to leave it to you to figure out the next step, you big, strong man, you.
[ okay, listen, the ear fondling is more or less fine. he's kind of used to it - it's not his tail, anyway - and also it's nice to be paid attention to? the preening has him briefly close his eyes, reactive though once she starts teasing him the ears flatten a little to either side, and he frowns, but it is much more of a pout than it is actually anything annoyed. he is being patronized!!!! especially at the ruffle!!!! that gets him FULL out pouting. ]
Yes, I'm an officer, Lup. [ an OFFICER!!! a cop. anyway. seth huffs once she's done, right as the carriage rolls to a stop, reaching up to haphazardly try and get his hair back into a functional mess as opposed to a disaster -- he nods to himself, rolls his shoulders back, and takes in a big, deep breath. right! ] C'mon.
[ like a nice boy, he will step down and out and hold the carriage door open for her, offering his hand to help her down. it seems like maybe he has a plan of attack for this game? this shouldn't be too hard. just gotta get in there, get the room, and play the game. easy. ]
