[ there's a sweet teasing tone to his voice at that, his steps matching each of the other man's while they make their way but his attention drifts over to the rest of the setting with their topic shifting. as if tighnari would so no to cyno's company to begin with, as much as he teases or even exaggerates moments of his company when he slips into his joking stages. and with the privacy of the gardens? ]
