"I'm a distraction?" Filix blinked, turning that over a few times in her mind. There was something slightly nice about having that kind of power over someone... although he had the exact same affect half the time. But Filix was also aware that she could have taken it wrong...
But she didn't want to, and Filix shrugged as she shifted closer, resting head on his shoulder. "I hope I'm a pleasant distraction then, if I'm to distract you. Because I'd like to do it more often."

>_<;;; While he kept his composure on the outside, on the inside he scolded himself for messing up his syntax so badly. He'd have to work harder on his word choices, as well. All that time he'd spent alone in his room was making him even more befuddled, it seemed.
"I would, too. You know you are welcome to call on me at any time you wish? All you have to do is rap at my door. I tend to keep myself cloistered too often."

"I am? I might come visit you then. I wasn't sure if it was proper of me to turn up uninvited." Filix's smile turned a bit sheepish, a** he added, "But I've been wanting to visit you. And you can come call on me anytime you'd like..."
She paused, Filix knew she wasn't in her chambers as much as he was. She also knew that telling him where she might be would mean that he'd eventually catch her training. And Filix still wasn't sure if Aesculus would like that idea. "I'm out riding, if not in my chambers or in the library. I would love it if you came riding with me one day."
...Filix flushed again, embarrassment surging through as she noticed that she'd started a little list. True, the grove of ferns that she trained in wasn't on it, but it was still a desperate 'Find me!' to her.

He laughed lightly at the list of places she gave to him of where he could find her. The less-than-subtle hint didn't go unnoticed by the man. Perhaps he would surprise her some time with another gift, but that would require more preperation than he had at the moment.
"Are those the only places?" he teased. "I ought to go riding myself, for I fear I am out of shape. You must promise not to laugh at me if I do."

"I go to many places... but those are the most obvious." Filix flushed, but the wide smile hadn't faltered once. She did want to see him more, after all. Filix had already said that. So now she'd have more chances of 'running into' him? ...not such a bad thing. "You'd just have to find me in the other places..."
She nudged at him slightly with her side, a mischievous twinkle appearing in Filix's eyes. "Well, that depends on how many times you fall off while you try to mount."

He chuckled a little at her comment. Fall off while trying to mount? "I'm not quite that bad," he teasingly scoffed. If he were a more unskilled rider, he wouldn't have quite as fiesty a mount as Dearg. If anything, he wondered how Dearg would react to going out on a trail ride with another rider and her horse with her. As long as it wasn't a stallion like Cervus's, he felt assured it would be fine.
"Find the other places, hmm? How about we meet this time next week at the stables? With how rusty I am, I shall have to try hard not to embarass myself in front of you and your equine."

"I'll believe you when I see you ride." Filix answered, though she believed him. She could just picture how Fera would react to a grown man falling and stumbling around while trying to mount another horse. ...she wasn't sure if he'd relax and not see this one as competition, or feel threatened more.
Filix nodded, teasing, "All right, I'd love you meet you then. I'll be sure to bring you some bandages, should you bruise yourself badly in the attempt."

Laughing quietly to himself he leaned forward to kiss her on the forehead. If he were ever to injure himself in such a folly, he would prefer Filix's nursing to even Ursa's... not for the skill, but the company.
"Well then, I need to find myself something a little more appropriate to wear if we are to go riding. Will you forgive me if I part with you now?"

All of Filix's strength in her legs faded just a tiny moment at the feel of his lips on her forehead, however simple the guesture was. She gave them a quick telling off, and nodded, as she leaned up to kiss his cheek in return.
"I will try." Filix answered, still teasing, but her voice softened at the close contact so that it was barely above a whisper. She stepped backwards so that he could move without tripping on her in anyway.

He paused for a moment as if in thought, trying to balance his feelings for her with reasoning and etiquette. After this pause, however, he leaned down and gave her a quick and soft kiss on the lips.
"Stay well," he said simply before he flexed his wings and took off- after all, what was the point in walking if it was easier to fly to one's quarters. Smiling to himself as he left, he idly wondered how'd he find anything suitable to ride in.
