I can dance with whoever I like. [Is he being petulant... a little, but he's smirking slightly all the same. It's not really anyone's fault that Vera Moray couldn't handle his gifts as well as she—and he—thought; unfortunate, surely, but when her mind went, so did the parties.
No one else remembers them, anyway.
His eyebrows raise in surprise when Corvo quite literally pulls him up into a kiss but he responds in kind, one hand sliding to the back of Corvo's neck to hold himself there for a moment longer.] Later.
[Corvo stills none-the-less, a hand resting on the Outsider's waist. It's not like he really wanted to leave, anyway, so he'll lean forward to kiss him again. And again. Maybe a third time...]
[Oh yes, because Corvo has been in such a rush to get out and go meet with Overseers... The Outsider hums, his other arm coming up to rest draped over Corvo's shoulder as he leans his whole body closer.]
The Empress will undoubtedly notice. [Just saying... if this is secret tryst is supposed to be an ongoing secret, him showing up to dance gives it away to a whopping one person. Just checking what the limit is here.]
And she'll have many questions. All of which I'll answer. [Was he all that up to it? Not really. He'll still do it. Emily was going to have a wild time.] She's been hinting I need get back out, anyhow.
[This is... probably not what she meant by it, but details.] Just one night. So I don't bore you.
[This is definitely not what she meant. The Outsider knows this, they both know this, there is no denying that Emily is in for a very strange evening.
But right now it's the very early morning, and the Outsider runs his fingers through Corvo's hair as he hums, kissing the corner of his mouth.]
It won't be just one. [No matter how this is interpreted, at least one of them is needier than he's willing to admit. That's fine.] Then... I will be waiting with interest.
[Oho. Corvo smirks at that, but he won't try and decipher who he's implying. Instead he leans to press his head against the Outsider's, taking a deep breath like this feeling will last through the day. It won't, but he wishes.]
I won't leave you waiting long, then. [And with that hushed promise, he withdrew and turned away. He touched his lips as he was walking out the door, a smile still across them.]

[Give him a second... ah.]
You're trying to convince me to dance again.
