You and I would not be in this situation if you did, Jing Yuan.
[He rolls up one of his sleeves past the elbow. Seal after seal after seal, until Asmodeus's seal is visible against the outer curve of his upper arm.
It's not a man Jing Yuan has to worry(?) about. It's a demon.]
No need for comparisons. Asmo and I have a very old and complicated relationship.
[And that's as far as he needs to leave it, rolling his sleeve back down. As far as his condition?]
Go to the Nectar district. Find something, anything you like... so long as it makes you feel the same way you do now at the thought of it. Push your comfort zone a little, if you'd like.
Mm, I find myself hardly surprised at hearing that.
[ Jing Yuan replies in agreement, given the demon's title, and then watches Solomon reveal the seal, which reminds him of how many are written upon his skin. It takes him back to their previous conversation at that game about his contracts...and he ensures he does not dwell too hard on it for the moment.
Even if he is never less than amazed about it; if he lets his mind wander too far he will get too caught up in the man for another reason entirely. So, he nods at the rest, evidently content with the explanation because there had been at least a beginning level of curiosity present. As for the condition in question, he closes his eyes momentarily, a huff escaping him then.
The smile may be a little too easy, but any smile looks good on Solomon's face. Much like that smug and defiant look not too long ago. ]
I see. That should be easy enough.
While it is true that I might have something already in mind, I don't believe it hurts to look around to see if something else tickles my fancy, as it were...in either case, whatever I decide to bring you certainly will know soon enough. So that naturally we can discuss its...'use'.
[Pff. Still so serious... it really does remind him more of Barbatos than Asmo by far.]
Now, now, don't tilt your hand too far into my sights~
[That's just giving him far too much to work with to be a Problem later. Is Jing Yuan truly such a planner even for matters like this? Well! Maybe he really could use a lesson in the joys of spontaneity... or perhaps just losing a little of that need for control.
Like a switch going off, Solomon's mood tilts right back as if their little encounter hadn't just taken such a deeply sensual turn, lightly sliding himself off Jing Yuan's lap as he calls for his broom. Theres a lot for him to do and not much time to do it, and leaving Jing Yuan to stew in his want for a little longer might just make it all the more interesting.
As he lightly kicks his broom up to his outstretched hand, his other palm slides back under Jing Yuan's jaw, a careful tilt of his gaze up as Solomon seats himself on his broom just so with one leg crossing the other. No need to show the world his current condition, even if it isn't too noticeable just yet.]
Sundown, then. Don't mind for the details. I'll take care of the rest.
...
Be gentle to your heart until then, Jing Yuan. Can you give me that much for now?
Considering my track record, I think that's impossible.
[ Jing Yuan says somehow both lightly and bluntly at the same time, even if he doesn't really like bragging, but he can always manage it if it is in a playful manner. As for spontaneity...sincerely absolutely good luck; Solomon has seen what spontaneous has looked like on Jing Yuan though, and that so far has been mostly confined to his actions in the forest. So it isn't impossible. Though the results may be dubious (but hey who doesn't enjoy a bit of the unexpected in the bedroom, just a little?)
As it is, Jing Yuan watches Solomon change gears without batting an eyelid, representing how truly a mostly unflappable man he is in most circumstances. He had already decided himself to honor the 'later' and he is a very, very patient man. Even if he is in the expected twilight years of his life.
He will even tilt his head — even after the other does it, but this time just a minute movement to the side — in the temporary grip Solomon has on his chin, but happily as he looks back at the other. There's a small pause at the ask, because that sure is a request. But he answers regardless...perhaps his eyes even crease in further amusement at the way Solomon crosses his legs but he doesn't make comment. He is not a crass man. ]
I shall endeavor to do exactly that. I wouldn't want to worry you so, as like I said before about wrinkles...but, ah I think you remember that too, don't you?
[ There's a mission ahead, though, so who knows? But that still is some ways off, and Jing Yuan will do his best despite the way he is back to apparent usual playful self (not that it really changed much. He thinks of himself as playful even if he speaks formally and is thinking a mile a minute.) After that, he will bid him farewell until next time, so there's a wrap!!
(As for him, he's going to linger up here for reasons.) ]

Just make sure to bring it with you.

[ Just don't think he'll bring a whip, Solomon~
Only, you know, his army of aphrodisiacs. ]
