The two were polar opposites. Next to Arish, Rouna's smiles and soft tone felt artificial, practiced, intended to provide comfort rather than reflect the true feelings of the woman herself. Not that she seemed like she was lying. More hiding something. Her love of this establishment shone, but now that he saw her beside Arish, he could easily summarize her as "the responsible one". Compared to Arish, at least. "Serious" was perhaps the better descriptor, as his eyes watched as Arish's tail broke any professional decorum and played with Rouna's own.
The smile and chuckle that emerged from him wasn't artificial. The pair were definitely charming, and he felt his guard dropping further. He nodded to Arish as she gestured towards the lounge entrance, taking a few steps forward. "A good lay down in one of those comfortable beds does seem like a great idea," Marcus said, lifting the glass to his lips. Only a few more drips of whiskey flowed into his mouth, causing him to raise his eyebrows and look at the now empty receptacle. "I could also use a top off? Do either of you take care of that, or...?" He raised the glass to them and shook it, demonstrating its absence of alcohol.
