( Honestly? Nico hadn't know what to expect from giving him such an order, but when it becomes apparent that Hubert is going to play along - and play along well - the smile on her lips grows that bit wider. He's somehow methodical about this, too, in a way that makes her want to chuckle, but even she knows that now isn't the best time to let her playful nature get the better of her. The very last thing she'd want to do is trip them up now.

When the last of his garments is put to the side Nico takes a step back to really look at him. He's slender without his clothes - not skinny, exactly, but certainly very lean - and when her eyes drift over his scars she can't help but think about what he's told her of life back home.

She isn't surprised to see that injury has never stopped him in his tracks. )

Well, look at you.

( Nico's tone is appreciative as she lifts a hand to touch his chest, before skimming it down to settle at a very trim waist. Her other lifts to touch the purple line of runes: )

What's this?

( The tail-end of an eyebrow ticks up. )

Aside from real sexy, of course. I never figured you'd be a tattoos kinda guy.
