F - Flirting: How do they flirt?

𝑹𝑨𝑰𝑵

Being high mage, Rain has both the skill and resources to make his gestures as grand as his position in court. And as ambitious as he is, there’s no doubt he’s putting his power to very good use.

His interest should expect near outrageous amounts of Outworld flowers every day, highly exaggerated gestures when casting spells if they’re around, inviting them to late night dinners tucked away in some private garden of his, and perhaps an invite to a grand ball or two. Everyone in court will know that he is interested, and equally will they know that they’ll stand no chance against him if they should vie for his interest’s attention. Just the way he likes it.

“Are you joining us tonight at the empress’ ball?” He’d ask, one eyebrow quirking upwards as his eyes trailed up and down your figure curiously. “It’d be a pleasure to see you. My pleasure.”

His version of flirting is as good as platonically patting someone on the back for doing a good job. And even his compliments are stiff. He just doesn’t know how to string up sentences betraying his attraction, especially given that he’s probably fighting himself for wanting something — someone — more than he wants to uphold his duties as grandmaster.

The grandest gesture he can do without having to overthink it is touching his interest when training. To calm his nerves he’s convinced himself it’s for ��educational purposes’ only, for the greater good. Bi Han’s touch lingers for longer than it should, at least longer than he thinks necessary, but if his interest does not have a keen eye, it could all go unseen.

“Your strikes are impressive,” the grandmaster nods, the hand on your extended arm surprisingly warm to the touch. He holds it a moment, his gaze awfully pensive, before tilting your fist upwards slightly. “Next time, though, you must aim for the head.”
