per usual, the lady oscillated between speaking frankly, and with words any royal would be beside themselves to hear. which imperial wouldn't see the appeal of equal parts flattery and an invisible touch of an unspoken promise of honesty. except, callisto didn't often believed in the latter. he discovered the more forthcoming one attempted to be the surface, the more they kept tightly against their own metaphorical chest. perhaps, so deeply wedged in there that even iron would be unable to pry it open.
except, in those cases, he felt their intentions were made so clear on their features. greed was difficult to mask, as was murderous intent. especially for someone akin to callisto who was basically raised on the sensation. the lady's innermost wants... seemed to elude him, and yet he didn't exactly dislike it. a common theme through the night. a complication he didn't quite expect, much like how her words once more devolve into a more visceral reaction.
their closeness, whether literal or figurative, seems fleeting at best. ]
