[Gladio can't help it, he's flirtatious by nature. And maybe part of him wonders if it would even bother Ravus. The man is so hard to read and this sort of move will either end whatever dance started between them or will push Ravus to make some sort of move.
He isn't sure when Ravus got back, exactly, but suddenly he has a lapful of drunker-than-he-expected TA and honestly? He's not complaining. With the type of Knight costume Ravus wears, Gladio's bare thighs are treated to the feel of an exquisite ass and he immediately prays that the TA stays low enough not to notice exactly how much he's enjoying the feeling.
Mercifully, Gladio manages to keep hold of his wine glass even as he shivers at the way Ravus breathes those words into his ear. He has eyes only for Ravus as his own story is soundly one-upped by the recounting of the infamous A Capella Serenade Shutdown. He's seen the video way too many times to count, but the story never gets old and Gladio immediately starts chuckling. In order to avoid dislodging his coveted TA he wraps an arm around Ravus' waist, which of course pulls him a little higher on his lap.]
You were there?! Did the video miss anything? There's no way they caught all of Professor Highwind's reaction.
[Leaning up a bit to whisper into Ravus' ear, Gladio clinks their wine glasses together.] Good thing I don't give a shit about his promises.
[With that, Gladio takes a long pull from his glass and finds himself surprised again. It's actually not bad. Certainly not something he would get on his own, but definitely not bottom-shelf wine. His eyes rake over the current gathered group, out of politeness only, before settling once more on Ravus.
Loqi be damned. Gladio knows his family and doesn't give a single fuck them or their "connections", considering his own family ranks higher in most circles and his family's connections definitely rank higher than those of the self-absorbed blond. Besides, he has eyes only for Ravus.]
This wine is way too good for a frat house. You brought it, didn't you? [His voice is low enough for only Ravus to hear, the others completely ignored.]
