[If his attention was on something the other was saying, he might take a minute to consider Karna's words a little more. He might think about the term 'expending energy' of being something that most mortals don't exactly speak of. It's more of a term that refers to magical -- or godlike abilities. But his eyes and thoughts are not on the others' words--things he'll contemplate and likely talk to his court about later--but instead on the beautiful image of that magical golden armour as it melts away. Captivating, almost, as the black bodysuit disperses like thick black smoke, leaving behind only pale white skin.
He's absolutely entranced into silence for a rare moment before the other speaks again--finally re-earning Ozymandias' attention back to the soft-looking man's face.]
Yes. [Just a small answer at first, before Ozymandias finds his tongue again.] Truly, you are a rare beauty. For one to call me charming, you must recognise it simply by being someone who catches the eyes of others easily yourself.
[It's an odd compliment, but a compliment all the same. His hands move down from Karna's arm, fingers dragging across the thin material of that robe. They aim to curl around the small of Karna's back, to pull the smaller man against himself.]
You are making it quite difficult to keep my hands to myself and not claim that beauty for my own as quickly as I would wish to.
