“Can I borrow a kiss? I promise I’ll give it back.” pick-up lines // accepting.
Ashley never knew how to handle flirting ; sure, at some point, he was considered a savant. Roughly three centuries ago, there wasn’t a man in France Ashley hadn’t winked at. Well, that may be an overstatement. Since he’s fallen out of fame, his endeavors with provocative behavior have encountered somewhat of a dry spell. A two century long dry spell. When Elijah spoke beside Ashley, his shoulders tensed, eyes moving from his canvas to focus on the individual beside him. Perhaps he misheard him. Playing back the statement, in his head, he was sure that Elijah had mentioned the word ‘ kiss. ’ It would be foolish to think he was doing anything but flirting. Cheeks reddened and his gaze turned back to his canvas, decorated with dark greens and greys, a landscape torn by war. “ It’s not quite something you can borrow. Such a statement is foolish as asking to borrow a hug. It is not something which can be traded, rather an action which is performed. ” A pause, then a sigh. “ Perhaps you had a slip of the tongue. I will offer you an extra paintbrush to borrow, nothing more. ” // @colorcanvas
