She agreed she had changed, learned some enchanting secret, though what she spoke of he didn't quite know. Perhaps whatever it was had given her this confidence, and he smiled warmly again and set the flask aside when it became apparent she wouldn't take it, his own mouth watering ever so slightly with what might have been nerves. He'd never had someone look at him like that, and he was looking right back at her, and there was some sort of chemistry there. He could feel it.
Lifting his lute again to have something to do with his hands, he grinned wolfish-ly at her as teased him, and stretched a leg out to nudge her knee playfully with his toes. "Fishing now, are we, o frumoasă?" He teased back, and then plucked a few strings and hummed deeply in the back of his throat.
"What would you have me say, then?" He continued, and glanced up with amber eyes shining in the firelight, a slightly devious expression on his face. "Perhaps that you shine brighter than the stars on this night? Glow more beautifully than the moon before she wanes?" He paused, giving himself a moment to come up with more and to give her a chance to react. It was fun, coming up with ways to express how beautiful he found her without out-right saying it. After a moment he continued, "Your voice is softer than the wing and brighter than the fire, and your eyes make the grass look brown." Combined with the light strumming of his fingers against the lute, he could have been serenading her, though the words didn't rhyme and weren't supposed to. If she wanted him to, though, well; he could only give it his best shot.
