Kate...not the time or place. [Eric's voice sounds strained, and it's quieter than hers, because he really doesn't want to get into trouble. Not so soon. But he is sympathetic.
And he's got tools on-hand that others might not. He's a bard, after all, and magic can be wonderfully subtle when it needs to be. His voice lowers further, to a mere murmur that won't carry, and he leans in just slightly.]
If I had a way to help keep that submissive a little warmer--and hell, us too, while I'm at it--without causing a scene, would you lay off the active judgmental thing, at least for the moment? I'll explain in detail later, for now just think of it as a magic trick.
