( Trahearne's reaction is not lost on him, and he has time to consider it, without real conclusion, as he fixes him up. If Trahearne is easily flustered, then he supposes he's just quite good at flustering him. Or is inadvertently he thinking indecent thoughts? (He considers again that line.)
Man. Adelis's flustered demeanor is hard to resist. )
You're always so flushed; it's hard not to tease you. ( Not just when he's in Adelis's body. ) I still recall your expression when we exchanged names on the beach.
( That honeyed flush, when Trahearne acknowledged he'd slept with someone before he knew his name... It's such a minor matter of decorum that Mishka hadn't thought much of it, but Trahearne overthought on it, as he did with a great number of things.
Though, if he had to trace the fault lines of this great mistake, he'd have to confess that what had really taken him was the sight of Trahearne crying on that summer afternoon. )
Come here. I'll do his hair for you.
( He'll take up a hairbrush from the bathroom and return with it if Trahearne agrees, willing to spare him the trouble of having to figure out how to detangle and style. )
