[ that lopsided smile of hers sparks a faint laugh, because point well taken. and lucanis is about to finish cleaning up and ask her what she needs to bring to treviso when her eyes seem to scan him. it's a brief flicker, and lucanis tilts his head, a silent question in his gaze. it doesn't take him long to find out, as neve asks her question.

his eyebrows arch slightly. for half a moment, lucanis thinks neve is asking for... well, general company. but that is quickly overridden by the realization that neve means him, and he blinks. clearly, a little surprised. not put off, necessarily, but surprised.

company, with her? obviously. ]

Well. [ he says with some faux consideration, tone thoughtful as he sets down his cup. as if he were thinking over his plans for the evening (he has none). and, seemingly confirming silently that he has nothing on his imaginary agenda, he says: ] If you want company, then company you shall have.

[ and lucanis offers her a warm smile, a little amused. ignoring the (pleasant) churning in his stomach, because surely neve doesn't mean company company. right? obviously. ]

It would be more than a little rude to leave you in Treviso without a guide, hm?
