[ There's a way that she absolutely beams from the applause and praise; a glow in her expression that's almost absolutely been an exclusive to Raphael thus far. Someone has definitely taken the whole 'giving yourself wholeheartedly' thing... well, wholeheartedly. ]
I admit it took a bit to figure it out.
[ And it was someone else that figured out the movements were meant to go with a blade. Still, she went through figuring out the clothes with some thrall's help. Being told 'well done' and getting called his finest was worth it several times over, heart racing now from more than just the dancing. No secret as to why, with how she trailed fingers up and down the forearm of the hand that was at her chin. ]
[ She's certainly wrapped warmly around his finger, that's for sure. Further praise will only make sure that lasts quite a long time.
Though with asking if there was something specific, the answer was a clear yes, with the coy way Eden bit at the inside of her bottom lip. There certainly was, but the novice was shy enough to need to work up the courage, even as she's pulled closer and was practically on top of him. ]
There is something that I've been wanting to try... It's a little embarrassing to say, though. It would require some things, too.
[ Which is only because she's not used to saying such things. However, he'd be pleased to realize that it was a kind of scenario that meant she had quite an amount of trust towards him. ]
They... might be feasible to acquire here and now.
[ There's probably something set up for ropes and the like from the ceiling, what with the various arts and seduction means that are done in this castle. Still, the idea of saying that she wanted to be in such a vulnerable position as being strung up (in either forms), and left to someone's whims, refused to leave the tip of her tongue. Which is why Eden opted for leaning further in to rest her head into the curve of Raphael's neck; conveniently hiding just how flushed their expression was getting. ]

Well, there is no shame in that, certainly. Not for such a fine display.
[ Practice makes perfect and so on. Her fingers trailing along his arm draw his lips up into a smile. ]
A reward? Yes, of course. I would be remiss not to acknowledge your work.
[ He takes her by the wrist gently with his other hand, pulling her a little closer. ] Is there something specific you desire, Eden?
