With a pleased grin, he took the instrument back. "You see? A fine voice. I understood you perfectly well, that time." He twirled it carelessly in his hands. "You don't have to take it," he said, "and I won't chase you if you want to go." He brought his face nearer to hers with a grin, smooth skin and white teeth and smelling of clover. "Even if you are pretty."
There was no real reason to have said that except to unsettle her.
He drew back to a more comfortable distance, and considered the lute that he held. "I'll leave you be if you prefer it," he said, "but it seems a shame to go without such a very fine voice." It wasn't necessary that he be attractive to convince her to make a deal, but it was the way his form went anyway, gradually and naturally drifting toward whatever she found most appealing.
"I would be happy to trade you for it," he said, though he didn't hold it out to her again. "Nothing you wouldn't be willing to part with. I'll even let you make the first offer." Though how she would make it, when he could never understand what her gestures were meant to convey, was a question he left unanswered.
