[ being persuasive is part of who Rook is but, for once, he isn't using it to seduce or lure. he honestly does not wish to cause the other any discomfort, doesn't want him to feel like he is being persuaded in any sense. honestly, there aren't many times when Rook actually enjoys that.

especially now.

the demon pauses though at that question he never-- no one ever asks him that. that is what he asks others, never putting himself or his wants into the equation because they don't matter.

Rook opens his mouth and closes it more than once before--]

I don't know? I mean, I don't want anything from you that you aren't willing to give first off but I also-- I just don't know what I want.

[ because his life if about pleasing others, about seducing and corrupting and he is nothing but a tool of that. ]
