Caspian grinned as he watched Roman discard the cigarette, becoming absolutely pliant as he was reeled in for another kiss. And just like that, the passion between them was reignited. It was different now; the excited uncertainty from some of their first encounters was replaced by an undeniable need for each other's touch. He felt the air get practically sucked out of him as Roman tightened his grip, locking him up against the hard surface of his body. His hands smoothed over the distinct edges of Roman's ribs, but avoided his back where he knew the bout of self harm had left him hurting. The smokey flavor left behind from the cigarettes was noticeable but not unpleasant, and Caspian was preparing to deepen the kiss when Roman abruptly ended it.
His goal was almost completely forgotten in that moment and as soon as he had inhaled a breath of air, he leaned back forward for more, only to be met with Roman's mildly anxious expression. Clearly whatever was going on needed to be dealt with sooner rather than later, and he reluctantly relaxed his body in Roman's arms, giving the man his full attention. It was important for him to be useful, not a distraction.
Hearing Roman extend an invitation, albeit reluctantly, he perked up like a puppy that had been offered a long awaited treat. He absorbed the information curiously, appearing a little surprised by the end of it. He wasn't sure what he envisioned Roman dealing with on a daily basis, but this wasn't it. Then again, the oddity of this particular task was probably the only reason he was inviting Caspian to begin with.
"Kids, huh?" he noted skeptically, pressing his lips together to suppress a smirk. The idea of Roman dealing with children alone was hard to imagine. Not to mention sick, orphaned criminal children. "You might need me for this one, anyway," he pointed out, well aware that Roman wouldn't appreciate being underestimated no matter the task.
Leaning forward, he stole one more quick kiss from Roman before waiting to be released, "I'm in," he accepted the half assed invite, "Any idea where we're heading?" he pressed for details, having close to zero insight into the criminal underbelly of society.
