"We're never going to get anywhere if we both insist we did something wrong by not saying 'hello' sooner, you know." D'hys chuckled with a slight shake of his head. V'zire was unbelievably adorable and sweet. The kindness that radiated off the man was genuine and it was odd to find someone so sincere and open like the greenrider. Of course he was still guarded in some ways since he didn't give in to any sort of flirtations -- blueriders did love to gossip! -- though that could possibly count as loyalty to the mated man V'zire felt was owed since he won Niskziath's flights. Such an odd man. An odd man that was going to prove to be a fun challenge. The sweet ones were always the most willing to trust and see the good in everyone before finally giving away their heart and a place in bed. D'hys had no need for a heart, though collecting the broken ones that had shattered as he left was fun, but he was all for claiming the bragging rights to getting V'zire to eat out of the palm of his hand and wrap his legs around his waist.
A few bites of food were taken before it got too cold but he was soon shaking his head again when V'zire tried to deny his standing within Katila. "I'd call that popular. If you liked to talk and no one liked to listen to it, then that would be another thing entirely but you have people that carry conversations with you and seem happy to see you approach. You shouldn't sell yourself short so much, V'zire." A little confidence-building was definitely in order for the road to victory to go off without a bump. He'd flatter and encourage the greenrider as often as possible without it coming across as forced or done in order to get something. Everything always came down to timing and D'hys would be careful with his.
"Anyway, shall we be a bit cheesy and toast to our friendship?" D'hys smiled cheerfully as he raised his mug anyway and waited for V'zire to follow suit. There wasn't a single thought about the greenrider doing otherwise given how he'd likely feel guilty for leaving him hanging over something so innocent. If D'hys could manage to get V'zire to loosen up enough to partake in silly gestures like toasting random things, then there was a strong chance it would carry over into other areas and he'd be willing to try other silly and innocent things. They were small steps, but steps that would build trust and maintain interest.
