No words could properly articulate the feelings that welled inside Ariston's heart the moment Xi's face betrayed the cool loftiness that it'd possessed until that singular moment when astonishment bled into the dim lighting of their rendezvous. He had reached her somehow, her amour baring chinks, and with her vulnerability came a fondness of her that he hadn't been expecting. Ariston found her quite cute in her eagerness...a shadow of red bloomed across the bridge of his nose accordingly.

"Perhaps I will tell you one of the reasons," he said with a purposeful slowness. He wanted to prolong that moment where her eyes looked into his, seeking answers, the flicker within them reaching to him with an intimacy that he'd entertained but only a few times in his (still yet short) life. "Your name," he bargained. "I would like your name in exchange."
