Unable to contain his laughter, Nash shook his head as he giggled, moving forward to steal a kiss from the reaper's lips, unsatisfied with the kiss to his cheek. "Only that you're 'that mysterious bookseller' and I should 'be careful because there's something inhuman about that guy'." He tutted with his tongue again, grinning wolfishly. "Like I said; they have no idea that you're my little red riding hood." Nash shot the reaper a wink as he chuckled again at his own joke.

Pausing for a moment, Nash nodded at Vex's words. "That's true enough," he agreed, looking at Sonata as he spoke the next words teasingly. "Sonata never learned not to take things from strangers. I'm honestly a little surprised he hasn't been run off with yet."

Nash pouted at Sonata as he smiled and laughed at him fondly. "What do you mean you don't know?" Nash asked, flabbergasted. "You've tasted just about every creature out there, I thought!" His green eye widened at Sonata's last comment, turning to glance at Vex to see if he heard too.

He leaned against the bar as he listened, suddenly even more curious about the stranger upstairs. Sonata was a natural flirt, so the flirting was one thing, but to hear Sonata say that he was actually affected by the other man... That was new.
