He didn't know what to say, tell him the truth or make up a lie. "W..well I saw you......lick your lips and I........" he said wondering why he just told him that instead of lying. His face turning an even brighter red.

Shiro blinked at what he heard and then blushed... only to shake his head with a smile.
"Are you sexually frustrated?", he asked, a bit embarrassed to ask that so openly. "I heard that it happens... reacting to the simple things.. by excitement rising. I never had many friends since I was more into books and learning so I'm not sure how it goes.. My mentor suggested I should... well.. find someone that I would like that way... You know.. Sexual way.. since she says that I would be able to notice more things around me.. and my observation would be more... detailed. I had sex with some woman... but it didn't seem to change much..."
Shiro realised that he was talking way too much and blushed up to his ears. Not really knowing what to do he was standing, a bit stressed with the silence.

"Honeslty.....a little...mabey I could be that person.....one day if you see me in that way." he said nervously.

He knew Shiro wasn't ready when he spoke so he wasn't upset. He smiled "of course, I know your still not ready for anything like that, I'd never want to rush you.".

Shiro smiled at the answer. Really glad everything was fine between them he relaxed entirely.
"Do you like reading?", asked the elf, out of the blue.

Yes accually I like reading cook books "I know that might sound strange but I like learning how to cook new things. he said scratching the back of his head. "Also I like to read about wars and battles. That's the inner warrior in me I guess" he said with a little chuckle.

"Did you try reading the books that humans here have?", he inquited, even more curious now.

"I never read any humans book. That sure would be interesting", he said, smiling softly.
