[ whether it's this world, or in linkon city, it's difficult for him to walk away from an actual challenge. besides, if they were going to be traveling together (before he can potentially give him the slip), the last thing he'd want is to come across as a coward.
hence, he reaches over and just lightly brushes the back of his knuckle right under sylus' eye. it can barely constitute as a touch, but—
can he say he won? he does look like it, as the very corner of his lips turn up slightly. ]
[ Rafayel doesn't need to worry about Sylus finding him to be a coward. He might think some other unsavoury thoughts about how he heads a pointless institution that has no place in the ecosystem, but he can acknowledge Rafayel's hustle.
That doesn't mean he's placated by being pet like an animal.
So he pretends to bite at Rafayel's fingers when he draws his hand away. ]
[ THAT'S WORSE!!!! why is he being treated like a snake oil salesman damn
when sylus pretends to try and bite him, he can only give half a sigh. not even a full one. where did you learn your manners, mister khaosi sovreign. ] They all warm up eventually. It must be because the snacks weren't to your liking.
[ wiggles his fingers as if that was meant to be his snack...
jk, no biting allowed. ] If that's the case, you should tell me your preferences. All we have is time.
