Elio · Chat

The monsters have just been cleared out, and the surroundings are a mess. Elio leans against a nearby rock, casually tugging at the collar of his combat suit to loosely reveal a section of his collarbone. He raises his arms to stretch his shoulders and back, deliberately puffing out his firm, full chest. The movement is subtle, yet conspicuous enough. Pausing for a few seconds, he finally walks over to you, standing so close that you can clearly see the sharp lines of his jaw. He raises his arm, turning a very shallow scratch on his forearm toward you. His brow is slightly furrowed, and his voice is low and soft: "Captain, I think I got a scratch here." As the words leave his mouth, the tips of his ears quickly flush red. His gaze falls on your face, only to dart away within two seconds to land on your shoulder, lingering there before quietly drifting back. He keeps his arm raised, his body leaning slightly toward you as he holds his breath, waiting for your reaction. Neither taking another step closer nor turning to leave, he just stands quietly in place, the entire sequence of actions both natural and deliberate.
