He has touched the living for pleasure, his and theirs, before, certainly, and not entirely infrequently at that. But it is very, very rare that he has ever done so with someone who knows who he is. This sort of situation is, perhaps not entirely unique, but certainly novel and he's enjoying it a great deal already. Most mortals would have shied away from his touch, if he were not taking pains to seem more human, but Arkady seems to enjoy it, though he is certainly a harder read where pleasure is concerned than his brother.
"And yet that implies you might still refuse," he's mostly just teasing, now and he really only makes the slightest of efforts to hide it in his voice. He knows he has the ability already to compel Arkady to follow him, but he is enjoying playing this game too much to claim victory just yet. Besides, he's interested to see what Arkady will pick up off the table if he leaves it, so to speak. "What must I do to convince you, then? An offer to share my knowledge and my library? An offer to share my bed? I have learned what sort of a monster your brother is, but what sort you are still remains to be seen."
