"It's been asked to call me Devero," he says. "Did for the rest of that conversation, but that was it." After four months it doesn't rankle at him as acutely, but it's still shitty of the train.

He'd much rather talk about dancing. "Hah, I have fond memories of days like those myself! I used to tear it up in the clubs when I was in the guard. Me and my mates would go out any time we had leave." Admittedly, club dancing is not quite the same as what he'd just been doing with Caleb-- must less formal and a lot more suggestive-- but still. Same vibes.

"You've definitely retained it," he adds warmly. "You were great!"
