Every beast is mindful of its territory. [Though he has to agree that neither of them carry much meat around their bones, both being on the skinnier side of the spectrum.
Richard follows the tug on the towel, taking the few steps forward to close the small gap between them. His eyes briefly wanders to the flames in the fireplace, actually taking a moment to think over what he could ask Silco to teach him the next. He had been learning about the world of capitalism and business -- which hadn't been all that hard for him to grasp, in the end. After all as the Duke of Gloucester he was used to govern much bigger land and area than Aldrip. It was also thanks to Silco's influence that he doesn't react so badly or shun electricity like before.]
...Fork. I want to know how to use knife and fork properly. [He says eventually, voice a smaller and more awkward than before. Admitting his shortcomings like this did make him feel somewhat uneasy, despite their close relationship. For the record, Richard has been practicing using the utensils on his own, but it had been a struggle. There had been some improvement, sure, but Richard could tell that he was still clumsy and far from mastering the practice.]
Mm. [He nods in admittance. The travel through the desert had been taxing and hard, sure. But overall he supposes that his team had been successful otherwise. But he supposes that's what survival does to you, no time for petty arguments or quarrels when you were too focused on staying alive.] Which trouble is that?
[Then, the mischievous smile widening on his lips, Richard raises his left foot and gently kicks it against Silco's calf. Well, since his lover started to dry him he might as well finish the job.]
