[He is the happiest ant with a bindle right now, thank you very much.
Varka does pause for a moment the second he picks up on her tapping. He gives her a look, one that desperately tries to be reproachful but looks more and more fond the longer he holds it. This woman. This beautiful woman.
He's equally aware of her eyes on him as he works, too. Maybe he slows it down a little, giving her a show as he lowers himself to slide his boots on, then stretches himself out before reaching for the breast plate. He clasps it together with slow deliberation, glancing up through his bangs after a moment to see just what an effect he's having on her.]
Ah, sounds like even the village elders are struggling with these changes. Feel bad for them, especially after all they've been helping out.
[ Nicole's focus sharpens the moment Varka's motions become markedly more deliberate. She watches with an appraising eye: there is something to be said about the inherent eroticism behind the act of Varka suiting himself. This is definitely not just her attraction to him talking.
When he glances up at her after situating his breastplate, he will find her staring at him rather openly. Not an ounce of shame in this one. Though she vividly enjoys seeing Varka in all states of undress, there was a distinct difference in witnessing him in all his glory, so to speak. The very picture of readiness.
Nicole's mouth quirks into a smile. She raises her eyes from Varka's torso to his face, unabashed. Them staying in this home will be... a very good thing, given her apparent appetite? ]
Mm, yes, agreed. Hopefully it will become easier for all of us to contend with our abilities soon. I cannot imagine it's been easy to keep things running when you cannot even trust your own enchantments.
