[ The kind of bonds one doesn't want to break. Gladio tips his head back slightly, lidded eyes regarding him with a faint smile of amusement. ]
Interesting argument.
But like I said, I'm not looking to get tied down.
[ He can't help the occasional pun, low hanging fruit like that is the kind of banter he lives for. Gladio changes his posture, using the arm he had been leaning on to brush the scarf on his way to that exposed neck. He slides his hand along the back of it, a calloused thumb tracing his jawline. ]
I'm back after a long trip. At least it's good knowing the view has only improved.
[ 'The usual'. What an impressive non-answer. Gladio's been too long in the business of watching for threats to safeguard his king not to instinctively size up every creature within line of sight at least enough to observe them for signs. Genji seems... normal. His build suggests martial arts, subtle signs leading him to think he might be like every other adventurer here. Which is a surprising number, actually. Some of them have weird abilities he never thought possible, and he's seen a lot of weird. Gladio's smile widens for a moment. ]
You'd think winding up in some kind of alternate universe would be the perfect cure for boredom.
[ Gladio's used to things heating up rather quickly after making the moves on someone, has nearly suffered from mental whiplash from the swiftness of some eager individuals to get laid. Genji seems content to tease and flirt and that's really more his pace. A turn here, a touch there, moving toward each other inch by slow inch, closing in on each others' personal space in increments. Gladio puts his hand on Genji's side, thumb finding the definition of his hip beneath his clothes and tracing it, running his hand up his slide lightly as he speaks. ]
Guess when it comes down to it, it's the same song... different beat.
