The transformation that came over him was immediate, the instant a pretty voice came drawling out of a pretty face. Instead of stopping he turned on his heel to move all his inertia back toward the bar, his face softening from determined irritation into a smile well-practiced into perfection. He leaned against the bar, propped his chin on his hand, and looked for all the world as if he couldn't possibly be more smitten with the woman behind the counter.
"I was just looking for you," he said, as if he were there to take her on a date instead of possibly proposition her for the night. Then he paused, and let himself look just a little bit sheepish, just enough to be cute. "Actually – and this gets a l'il bit complicated, so bear with me – you see that delicate flower over there?" Niyol gestured to Mai, who was kicking her feet because they didn't quite reach the ground, looking not terribly delicate.
"That is my little sister, and while I love her to death, ever since she got marrying age she has been… a handful. Got eligible suitors lining up for days, but the thing is, she's got herself a taste for old paperbacks, the kind with half-dressed pirates on the covers. She wants to be swept off her feet, but being as she is a delicate flower and all, I am highly opposed to… sweeping." He narrowed his eyes, as if glowering at imaginary pirates to discourage their potential sweeping behaviors.
"So what I'm thinking," he said, giving her the full force of his grin again, "is I'll find her a fellow to help her get it out of her system, so to speak. Someone I'll be paying not to get any funny ideas." Then he propped his other elbow on the counter, put his chin on both his palms so he could flutter his eyelashes sweetly at her. "And if you can point me in the right direction, maybe that'll give me some time to get to know you better."
