[ the hand at his back is grounding and credence smiles, leaning toward graves just a little bit, pointedly. charles has the look of a man that knows what he's being told but somehow doesn't actually care, which says a lot about him. he's shameless about his flirting anyway, and as long as he doesn't try anything he's relatively harmless.
credence raises his eyebrows at graves' first comment but then smiles coyly, nudging him with a hip. ] Just because you like watching me whenever you get the chance doesn't mean everyone does. [ he knows he's popular - it's not about that. it's just another reminder that graves does get to watch credence whenever he likes.
ahem. and then: ] Charles, those moments were in confidence! I'm too old to sound like a schoolboy with a crush. [ sly. ] Percy's just the greatest constant in my life. I'd be lost without him. Surely you know how that feels.
[ credence is, in fact, slightly flushed from being called beautiful by graves in public - more than slightly, having to turn his head away for a moment - and he feels a little like his heart is pounding. you look like a schoolboy with a crush right now, credence, charles teases, and it's just as lovely on you as ever.
laughing, credence tips his head forward to fan his face slightly. ] No, no, I'm just warm.
