Lynch sat close to Zilvra but said nothing, only looking into her eyes.
"Oh, Lynch, I've seen quite a bit in your eyes—emotions and desire," Zilvra said. "Although you always manage to hide your desires, they reveal traces under this dark night sky. Listen, Mage, I actually prefer it when you show your wild side, at least there's no restraint, no shackles. When you truly learn to master your emotions, I will consider your needs."
"So what you mean is that I should down another bottle? Use the warmth of the liquid to stimulate my body and mind?" Lynch said with a smile. "I prefer gazing into your eyes while sober, rather than being unable to remember anything."
