Nash chuckled behind his fist at that, cheeks heating slightly as he knocked his own shoulder against Vex's lightly. "Don't be such a tease, Vex." Moving his head up to nip teasingly at the raven's jawline.

This time it was an airy sigh that escaped Nash as he stared dreamily at the spider youkai. "Really, Sonny? You mean that?" He grinned happily, raising his mug of water. "Well, cheers to that then!" He took a swig of the refreshing water before chuckling as he wiped the wetness from his lips.

"I can understand enjoying the attention, but sometimes they can be downright nasty to you," he groaned, rolling his eyes in the direction of the drunk.
