"I could take my pick of beautiful, sycophantic creatures, if that is what I desired," he does not deny, however, that he does sometimes wish for companionship, if nothing else, someone to pass the days with. There is much in his realm that requires his attention, but much more that runs mostly on it's own. The hand around Ashley's throat turns instead to a caress,
"What is it you stand to gain? If I offered you the chance to walk out of here, would you take it instead? Do you offer because you think it will save you, or do you offer because there is something you desire?" The arm around his waist shifts, the hand moving to his thigh instead, spreading his legs across his lap. The position is obscene, but his hand moves no further, simply holds him like that, lets him feel how easy it was for him to do it.
"You are beautiful," he offers the praise freely, "and I do like to surround myself with things that are beautiful. But I have all of history to choose from. Here, your beauty is not enough. Show me what else you will offer."
