They're nearing the area where there is a possibility of danger, some coyotes and wolves that feel more comfortable than they should this close to civilization. But then, the same could be said for the eagles, and the diplomats have made far too many efforts to keep them roosting nearby.

Kai slows down, supposes he needs to keep an eye on all of them. This really is a pain in the ass.

He fights his usual instinct to reflexively growl at the question, because even he can recognize it as a change in topic, one that benefits him. "It's alright for a paycheck. I prefer when there's not anything trying to eat me." But at least the wildlife is relatively easy to keep away from.

He's probably not slowing down for Marco's account. He doubts that very much at least. There is an obvious disgust that he can feel loitering in the air between them and he knows it doesn't originate from him.

"Are you often in situations where something tries to eat you?" he asks mildly as he catches up with Kai now that they're walking a little slower, the scent of the man pulling him in without him even noticing that he's taking strides to walk a little closer.

The disgust at least is easy to wrap around Kai as a sort of protection against the urge to look longer at the unsidhe, at the way Kai has to fight from letting him drift close.

"Yeah, pretty regularly," Kai says, wrapping up that devil-may-care for long enough to shoot Marco a rogue-ish smile that doesn't mean anything. "I imagine you think you're above all that."

Marco is well aware he has a type, one that looks very good in leather and often wears that devil-may-care attitude as a uniform. He is, should be, too old to stoop for cheap shots like this, but...

"Oh, I definitely am not above being eaten, handsome," he says with a small smile like the moon, amused and perhaps a little teasing but distant enough not to make the flirt incredibly intrusive.

It's true, he avoids putting himself in situations where he'd have to rely on his ability to wield weapons. But magic is quite as effective for him, though and doing his cousin's work has put him in a lot of danger lately, whether he's in court or on the field.

"I'm not stranger to danger, though."

"Pity I have a policy of not sleeping with anyone who knows my name," Kai says, because he has a tiny bit of diplomatic sense, and telling their visitor that he won't sleep with the elf does seem more on the excessively rude side of things. It would also sound more like a challenge, he thinks. It also reminds Kai he needs to ignore the loud clamor of his body, the ache to breathe in the smell of the unisdhe.

"Your idea of danger a visit to the uncivilized part of town?" By that Kai means the humans, but he also means himself. He's making fun of the elfin sense of superiority while also putting himself on the other side of it.

"Gosh, ruined my chances right away, did I?" Marco asks with a teasing air of humour. He takes a note, though, because that was a very clear rejection, even if he hadn't exactly meant it as a come-on to start with.

Hilariously, as little as Kai seems to think of him, expecting arrogance and heightened sense of superiority, he seems eager to broadcast those same things back at Marco by ruling him as something or another without really knowing. It's definitely nothing new, however. Marco is used to it. He plays with those expectations whenever it is convenient for him. He wasn't born to high status, his father made him work for it, which means that he still doesn't think of himself as a noble born.

He gives a soft chuckle at the dig and lets his face tilt up, looking at the eagle searing across the sky. "Seems like you've neatly categorised me already. Perhaps I will get a chance to prove you wrong eventually."

[halfbloodhatchling]

Kai really hopes that he never sees the unsidhe again, because right now that's starting to be all he can think of, the scent of fresh-fallen snow and some kind of flower. He's slowed down, and that means Marco is right there, next to him and it would be so easier to let him draw a little closer.

"I'm sure you've got better things to do, my lordship." He hopes like hell this man forgets Kai as soon as this little visit is over.

[chaos_born]

Marco walks side by side with him, hands in his pockets mostly because he's afraid if he lets go of the fabric he's been pinching for a while, he's going to touch this man and that would be a mistake.

"Do I?" he asks, brows arching as he looks at Kai from the corner of his eye. They're of similar height, and walking almost shoulder to shoulder, it's hard not to feel like the tangy scent of orange and spice that waffles around him is anything but intoxicating. Marco wants to rub his nose against this man, just inhale him...

[halfbloodhatchling]

Kai is pretty sure that most elfin don't have this sort of effect on him, the way his skin hums with the need to be closer. Kai's got plenty of reasons to keep that distance between them, though, reasons that he keeps reminding himself of.

"I think Ambassador Hinton probably had aims in taking you out here." Aims that weren't having his security do...whatever Kai and Marco were doing. "And we should stay close together here."
