I've met men before I felt instantly attracted to, and they usually only got the flirtation and coy remarks. Some of them bedded me, and then we parted ways.
With you... I suppose I think I'd like you to be more.
It's strange. And only seems to get worse every moment I spend with you.
[He watches him as he listens, taking in what Cyril has to say. Because he appreciates the honesty so he wants to hear the words from him. Especially since Cyril is offering them freely this way.
It's been a long time since anyone has said words like that to him.]
I see.
[He studies him a moment more and then...]
Your honesty keeps me interested. I can say that much.
Well, I've plenty of that to spare. [Cyril is more than happy to share. It feels intimate and comfortable.] Might lean towards that vanity side a tad too often.
Well, once again I feel the need to point out that I have an excellent face and you have an excellent everything. It would be impossible for me to ignore that.
[Cyril blinks that that, completely taken off guard by the statement. His eyes cast downward towards the prosthetic. To him, that seems an obvious physical flaw, but Kolivan doesn't even consider it.

[He looks to Cyril curiously at that. It's not something he expected to hear.]
Why is that?

You've been honest with me. I should return the favor.
[And now he's been forced to share even more than he'd like. Sharing in return seems like the least he could do.]
no subject
You are more attractive when you are honest.
[That's why.]
no subject
Oh, then I'll keep at it.
Any idea what else you find attractive?
no subject
Confidence.
[There. He said something.]
no subject
But can you blame me? I mean, with this face?
no subject
[That's not what Cyril means but well here they are.]
I have not been one to prefer looking at someone's appearance usually. Years ago, it was who someone was at their core that I would look at.

Hmm. This seems a really good opening to fish for compliments, and I'm torn between that and my desire to come upon them naturally.
no subject
[Basically...he's not telling you any unless they're natural, Cyril.]

Besides, I give enough compliments to both of us.

You only feel that your face is excellent?
no subject
I do have other assets though. [That empahsis is abosultely on purpose.]
no subject
From what I am able to see, you have no physical flaws.
[He's including that fake arm in that. Because he doesn't view that as a flaw.]
You have kept yourself healthy which allows for you to do well in combat.
no subject
He feels oddly emotional over that idea.]
Well, I do try.
