[ He winked in an effort to lighten the conversation but the sadness in his eyes probably gave him away. Seth could have a good poker face in stressful situations. His armor was only thick in battle. There was a softness he couldn't hide, no matter how his father tried to beat it out of him while growing up.
It wasn't as if Seth was opposed to sex. Hell, he even liked affection and had a tendency to touch those he cared about--be it a hand on an arm or shoulder or back. Given his mother abandoned him and his brother, he was careful when it came to sex. The last thing he'd ever find was someone claiming he was the father of their kid.
Yet there was no worry in Eudio over pregnancies or even STDs. He was starting to realize it was more than a physical aspect, as much as Seth tried thinking otherwise. Someone, not something, had a hold on him. She wasn't the wiser. He could try to blame her wanting them to 'socialize' all he wanted.
Here he was in the midst of a good conversation with a beautiful woman but wasn't trying to end the conversation for cuddle points she seemed to be on board with. Or maybe his own dilemma had him reading Cashmere wrong. He held a smirk between bashful and awkward, glancing down to his drink then taking a sip. ]

[ It wasn't the right time to make light. Seth realized that. His eyes picked up apologetic even though an apology didn't leave his lips. Cashmere might have been forward and nosy, there was something in what she said that he identified with: they were both damaged goods. There was no making light of that. ]
Your brother's okay though? Was it months for him or...?
[ He couldn't help but remember what Kate said. It was impossible to forget. The last Seth had saw her, she walked into Hell--his brother supposedly already there according to Amaru. Yet according to Kate, Richie had walked her out of Hell. Months ago. At that time, Seth had been in Eudio for a day--less than that. ]
