Watching her mind work was sort of fun. She wasn't guileless, necessarily. She had instead assessed the situation, and determined the futility of guile. She respected him as a thing to be feared, and didn't trust him necessarily, but accepted that the best thing to do under the circumstances was put herself at his mercy.
And it had worked out so well for her!
He grinned wide and crooked, and immediately set to cutting off a slice of cake to slide onto her plate. "What a lovely girl you are," he said, and he meant it. "I do not mind talking about it, but most people are not so understanding as you. I think they feel as if I am stealing, though it is no more than a flower steals from the sun."
If the flower could prod the sun into burning brighter without any care for the consequences.
He put a scoop of ice cream onto her slice of cake. "If you ever need anything else, I will be happy to have you again." Surely such a girl would find herself in need of things again – clothes, food, a bit of money. This would be a far less dangerous arrangement for her than some others she might be offered. Particularly when she had made herself so agreeable, and so quickly managed to learn how her half of the bargain could be met.
"I have not yet decided what I like," he said. "I used to like parties, and unfortunate things, but I think that I would prefer to like something else now." He sighed. "I like beautiful things, things that are pleasing to the senses. When you have finished eating, may I paint your lips? I have something in a shade that I think would match your shoes, and I cannot stop myself thinking how wonderfully it would complete your outfit."
