"Guess it does," Valerian had yet to bring anyone else to their tree since it was his place to get away from everyone else though lately it was used to write and spend time in a comfortable silence with Erisi. So he supposed the man-turned-pillow counted as someone special enough for his side of the tree and his attention in general. Thinking more on that subject, he supposed he could technically bring Talian or Allendris along with him but one liked to hide in books or his work and the other didn't particularly like getting dirty and no doubt would complain about the walk the entire way. So it wasn't worth finding out.
He was just starting to relax to the point where a nap seemed like a brilliant idea and since Erisi hadn't already shrugged him off, Valerian didn't see a point in moving or stopping his eyes from shutting. Then the Harper-pillow threw an interesting question his way. Do you want to make out? If anyone else had said that, Valerian would have wondered what prompted it, though he could see the way he had made their closeness a bit more intimate would give off that vibe, but this was Erisi. The man didn't need a lot of signals to jump on a chance for some action. But on the other hand, it seemed to Valerian he had been firmly placed in the 'friend zone' given that comment one night about how he could be a friend with someone and not have sex with them. At the time it was an odd form of flattery with a hint of disappointment for not ranking such attention though he stuck with the flattery way of thinking.
Now, however...
Do you want to make out?
Did he?
Valerian straightened and turned so he could properly take in Erisi, head tilting to the side to examine his friend in that view before a hand ran through his dark locks, stirring the mess of wavy lengths while brushing the strands from his face. They were friends and seemed to share everything else together since arriving at Katila and realizing they had an ally in each other so why not kissing? G'rem had encouraged them to experiment before the Hatching and Valerian had a little experience with women but nothing to his name when it came to men. Erisi seemed like the perfect guy to change that and not for his reputation but Valerian had laid some trust into their friendship.
"Sure." It was a simple answer to a simple question and he didn't think anything else needed to be said.
