Leonid flushed a bit when the man took a peek down towards his lap. Between the man and the goings-on of the play, he was still very much standing at attention though it had at least eased somewhat. Even so, it was still uncomfortable but at least he had stopped feeling the need to squirm.

"Oh that is a fair point," Leonid agreed. Even he had only come to some mild sense of comfort due the other man being so charismatic that Leo could not help but want to get to know him. And never mind young innocents, the mere thought of his father stumbling across something like this event was mortifying. "I personally wouldn't mind exploring more of this... I suppose that means I am of these particular tastes?" Or at least this man was.

Well, the invitation couldn't possibly have been made any more clearly than that, could it? Emrys smirked. He wasn't sure whether the man had really caught up to what he was agreeing to, but his body language was hinting that he'd enjoy the discovery when he did. There was still a risk associated with being the one to make the first move, but it was rather minimal on a night like this, in the middle of a crowd like this — and someone had to make the first move sooner or later, and there wouldn't be a better opening for it than this.

"I suppose it must," he agreed. Emrys moved his hand just a few inches, slightly enough that the people around them might not notice in case they were looking, but he was sure Leo would notice: his hand had moved from the back of the seat to the man's hip, meaning that his arm was draped around his back. Leaning in, Emrys spoke softly, directly into Leo's ear. "We don't have to wait for this show to finish if you'd rather move on to a private performance."

Lou made this! <3

Leonid smiled before taking another sip of his drink. He stiffened somewhat, in more ways than one, when he felt the mans hand move from where it had been to his hip. Was a mans touch supposed to be able to do that to another man? He hoped Emrys wouldn't notice or be offended if he did. It wasn't like Leonid had full control over that certain part of his anatomy. Not when there were so many stimulants working against him.

His mouth went dry and he felt a tingling sensation travel from his ear down the side of his neck as the man spoke into his ear. Get away, now, his instincts insisted while the curious, very intrigued part of him urged him to see it through to find out what this private performance might be.

"A private performance?" Leonid parroted, taking a deep gulp of his drink as he became very hyperaware of how close they were now that the mans arm was draped across his back. "It won't be seen as rude to just leave?"

He'd gone tense, but he hadn't pulled away. He was hesitant, then, but not entirely unwilling. Emrys could work with that. He'd anticipated that it might be the gentleman's first time, from the way he'd been reacting to things earlier in the conversation.

"I'm sure all will be forgiven if you're leaving with me," he responded coyly, still speaking quietly enough that only Leo would be able to hear (particularly since the actors up front had reached a particularly... enthusiastic piece of their performance).

"Finish your drink, and we'll go," Emrys suggested. The strong drink might help with some of the tension — whatever tension remained, Emrys was sure he'd be more than capable of soothing once the two were alone. He left his arm where it was around the other man, and settled into it somewhat more so that his chest was up against Leo's shoulder.

Leonid didn't quite know what to say with that so he settled for an "oh" followed by an awkward nod of his head as if he understood what was happening. He didn't but found himself going along with it all anyway.

"Oh, all right," he said, gulping down the rest of his drink. He almost choked as he felt the mans chest go up against his shoulder. His ears and cheeks flushed red and he wasn't quite sure where to land his gaze between the enticing man beside him and the enthusiastic performance before him. "Go where exactly?" He finally thought to ask only after he had emptied his glass.

Go where? An excellent question. The host would have had a number of rooms available for their purposes, he imagined, because it wasn't as though it was unusual for this sort of thing to happen after a performance like this. Emrys wasn't sure exactly what kinds of rooms might be available to them, though, and he didn't know the other man well enough to know what to hope for. Would bringing him into a bedroom be too alarming, making the whole thing too real too quickly for Leo's fragile sensibilities? Or would trying to undress him on a dining room table make him feel cheap and used? There was no way to know; he'd just have to see what was available and take things as they came.

But Leo had downed his drink, which was more eagerness than Emrys had been expecting. He'd thought they'd be lingering here for another ten minutes, watching the performance and getting steadily more aroused before they ever found themselves alone. Instead, they were off. The moment of truth was approaching, then.

"Let's start with away from the crowd," Emrys suggested. He moved his arm away from Leo's back but let his fingertips trail over the bottom of his belt as he removed it, making eye contact so that the other man couldn't mistake the touch for something accidental. That was about as explicit as Emrys could be in a crowd of people, even if most of the people here were like-minded, so if Leo decided to follow him after that it was really his own fault if he got in over his head. With a flick of a smile, Emrys rose and retreated towards the hallway at the back of the room.

What were they going to do that required being away from the crowd? Then the older mans fingertips were trailing over his belt. He was also staring into the older mans eyes with his own opened wide in obvious shock. "Emrys," came out in a surprised whisper. Though what he was actually going to say left his mind completely as his body reacted before his mind could catch up to what was happening. But it was there, he got what was going on. Oh. Oh.

He was still for a moment, a war of sensibilities, his ingrained morals and his bodys sheer want visibly on his face. He wished he had saved some of his drink. It looked like he didn't need it to make a decision in the end though, as he followed after Emrys. The temptation, allure and charms of the other man too strong for Leonid to be at all resistant against.
