Maera gives him a look, and then wordlessly just leans in again and . . . bites the stump. Not hard; it's more just a press of his teeth. And not right on the end of it, either. That might be going too far. But it's definitely over the scarring, and he makes a stupid face as he does it.]
[There is no way to hide this grin, so Maera just lets it be obvious. It's not like he was planning on holding on, but what choice does he have now? He keeps his teeth right where they are, tail wagging.]
[At least his hand is free. He brings it right on over to hover in front of Maera's face, fingers poised to flick his nose. He'll do it, don't test him.]
Why don't you put that mouth of yours to some better use?
[That's pretty embarrassing somehow. It's actually not even the first time someone's implied that about him, though it's been a while . . . maybe he's been doing a little too much making up for lost time? Dammit, it's not even like he was in the mood either! And he doesn't like that it bothers him! Stupid!
Maera frowns himself and averts his eyes. Shrug.]
If I'm coming on too strong, just say that! I was just—tch.
[Although, yeah, it's just a little jarring to see a version of himself be that openly flirtatious and suggestive. But this is the him who's actually been freely allowed to be that way for a bit. Mallory's catching up! Slowly! A little!! But for now it's kind of a relief to watch him withdraw like that, as shitty as that is.
Ugh. He's ashamed of that and other things. Two can play the dodging glances game. Look at this grass, it's so fascinating right now.]
Actually, never mind what I did mean. Doesn't matter what it was. I'm just fine with you coming onto me.
[He can watch and learn to train himself to be in the mood on command, stress be damned! ...Oh god, what if that's why Luna-- no, that's not it, don't be stupid.]

What, outside? Didn't think you'd be into that.

But that's not the point! He just wags his eyebrows, completely stone-faced otherwise, and flicks Maera's nose anyway.]

Something tells me I didn't find you "in the mood" anyway.
But I'm not saying I'd say no.

[Maybe not actually doing anything just RIGHT OUT HERE IN THE GRASS, but in general, hell yes.
Still, he frowns a little.]
Maybe I'm the one who's wired weird. By the looks of it, you always seem pretty raring to go. [Horn dog. Is this Peony's influence?!]
