Especially here. It was a perfect storm of someone finding you, and I'm lucky that it was me who found you first ♡

[He rubs his cheek against the arm currently trapped in his grip, smile radiant and one foot popped up behind him, before giving the rest of the Pleasure Palace a cursory glance. Almost as if it's interrupting somehow, upon Zhongli reminding him of his work earlier.]

Mm...I was working, but it's a little quiet at the moment on the host front. It's been great for business, though! I'm hoping that a few of the clients I saw tonight will come back to my club tomorrow night...But I haven't had much of a chance to really enjoy the festivities proper, no.

[A beat. Aster's attention returns to Zhongli at full power, lashes lowered and mouth quirked up enough to reveal both fangs.] It's been hard to enjoy much of anything, when I've been busy thinking about what you taste like. Over and over and over, and nothing fills the void...I can't even really enjoy sweets like I used to. You've gone and hooked me...

So, are you going to take responsibility? Huhu ♡
