Fools with high hopes are historically catalysts, if you believe in legends.
[Romantic tales of solitary knights going against the forces of evil, that kind of thing. Lorenz is fully aware of the reality of making tangible change; that takes upheaval, that takes resources, yes, sometimes it even takes war - but wouldn't it be nice if it was hopeful fools for once. Mm.
Oddly enough it's that part of what Wriothesley says more than the more personalized encouragement that makes Lorenz feel less like a single spark could set him ablaze (and not in a sexy way, at that). Systems and resources are so much more tangible; he knows where he stands when it comes to systems and resources.]
Does it embarrass me to inflict my insecurities upon you...? Mm. [He cants his head to one side and raises an eyebrow, as if to say, listen, having now seen him short circuit twice, what do you think-- kind of, yeah!! But only a little, so maybe enough of his comfort levels are unlocked via orgasm, it's possible.
He gives Wriothesley an affectionate hair ruffle and then reaches for his hand, to press a gentlemanly kiss to the backs of his fingers.]
What a relief; I would be mortified if you waited until now to tell me what an awful lover I am. [endeared by the shameless. gosh.] Luckily, my skills as a host for tea are second to none.
[It'd be even worse to be bad at tea than bad at sex? That said, after he... considers thoughtfully, for a moment,] It seems you found the words to bring me peace, after all. I would be glad to be someone you can rely on in the future, as well. If you would like.
