He winked and let out a slight laugh, shifting his position to lay a hand on the small of her back. A gesture for some that would appear utterly intimate, but for him was second nature.

Glancing across the room he could see eyes on them, and eyes that shifted away when their noticing was noticed. He smirked. He liked that. People were gossiping already? Good. Well, they did disappear off to a room together.

"Oh is that so?" he grinned back at her, his breath breathed warm against her skin. "Now that I will look forward to." His voice was merely teasing. To the uneducated it might appear to be flirting. He suspected she knew better.
