With a thoughtful expression, Adam observed the effect his closeness and warm gesture had on Peter. Seduction was the most important — and honestly fun — skill in his arsenal, as it had been extremely rare to find anyone immune to his charms in all those decades. As much as he was tempted to lean in just a bit further to capture the empath's lips with his own, it wouldn't have been the most strategic move at the moment. The foundation to build loyalty needed a bit more cement. Not to mention, they had important work to do today, and he knew himself — a kiss would only serve as a maddening tease. Peter should be savored, and such attention took time.
Adam's brows raised slightly as he was reminded the empath was new to all this. The life of an immortal wasn't always the easiest, but as Peter leaned into his touch, he wasn't worried. It wasn't a road the empath would have to walk alone, was it? Honestly, Adam hadn't had a chance to pause and think that far ahead. Gazing into Peter's big brown eyes gave the answer he needed for now. ❝ Ah yes, caffeine. Understandable, ❞ he replied with a nod.
All attention remained focused on Peter as he got dressed and suggested a plan until, eventually, Adam couldn't help the breath of amusement that escaped him when the immortals on TV were mentioned. ❝ Giving out my secrets, are they? Yes, I have quite a few bank accounts, ❞ he admitted before getting up and opening the nearby closet to search for something that wouldn't embarrass Peter if they went out. ❝ Every house of mine bears a hidden safe with banking info and petty cash, you see. Just enough to last a bit if I can't get to the bank right away. ❞
A moment later, Adam returned wearing normal jeans while buttoning up a simple white long-sleeved dress shirt. Making his way over, there was a playful smirk on his lips. ❝ There's only one problem — I simply can't remember where I hid it. ❞ Or could he? ❝ So, what say you attempt to find it with one of your extraordinary abilities, hm? We can have tea or coffee first, if needed, of course. ❞ It would be an entertaining test, as he really didn't fancy digging under floorboards or searching the attic. Two birds, one stone.
