"Yes, well, this place seems to be an exception to most common sense - and eurgh, don't remind me about that."
He'd been pointedly avoiding the whole bobbing-for-dicks business. That one's not only as obscene as everything else in this godforsaken world, it's straight-up demeaning. No thank you.
But if it's any consolation, Valmont's got no more intention than Ren does of running into the Mistress. For someone who doesn't mind plucking people from dozens of different worlds to hire on as mages, she seems to have no plans to actually teach them any magic, and while he certainly would like to give her a piece of his mind if he did happen to see her, this... really would not be the moment.
"Right. Come on, then."
He does lead the way, staying in front the whole way to the castle, and if that means Ren can't see the blush still lingering about his face, well, that's just a bonus. Fortunately, they make it there and up to his room without incident. The room itself is very nearly nice enough for Valmont's tastes, if a bit lacking in personal touches given that he's only had it a few days, but give it time. He'll cover this place in green yet.
"Go on, sit down. You mentioned a, er, stipulation?"
It may be worth noting that the only place to sit down is the bed, a fact that Valmont realizes only once the words have already left his mouth. Great. Note to self: buy a chair.
shhhh it ok i still love you ♥
