Estinien can feel his skin warming at the touch. He won't speak to how rarely this happens, Gaius knows and at least has the good sense not to mock him for it.

"Just get on with it," he mumbles, and his voice sounds more strained for the effort of being skill. Still, he does not embrace Gaius, or try to offer his own in kind. "I do not need to be courted, I have said you may do as you see fit."

He doesn't understand that this isn't the seduction phase, but the foreplay. Mostly because he doesn't know what that is.
