likemybooks: Taryon gasping and blushing (gasp)

[Taryon nods with Saelfen's suggestion and draws additional lines on his plans. Perpendicular leylines cross his own, creating a grid of structural beams like magic rebar in concrete. The corner gets another line on the edge, knowing that there is where all of the stress will congregate if a massive blast hit all of the walls. The application must be precise, which is why they are two intelligent and somewhat dexterous crafters working together.

Taryon's sole reaction to Saelfen sitting beside him is a small twinkle in his eye. The focus is in his work, no matter who beautiful the company is. That is the dedication one requires when it comes to the sciences. To keep one's mind on higher matters rather than base carnal desires is the mark of a wise man...

...which Taryon is not, because the suggestion coming from his...partner in science and in romantic manners has him pause his work and fear looking the drow in the eye.]
What do you mean?

[It's too easy to tell that his heart is beating faster while he reviews his drawings. There's nothing else he can add to them until he starts the actual calculations and enchantment process; all this is to stall for time until he knows that he isn't getting excited for no reason.]
