[Rilan hadn't been sure if he should be the one to bring up the other aspects of marriage first, because after all it is a marriage, not just a mere partnership. The fact that it's arranged just means that certain aspects of it cannot be assumed as a given.
His expression softens a little, losing some of the stiffness it had before as his lips curve up bit by bit. The important part here is that she wants this to be more than just a marriage in name, or a political partner, and while Rilan has many thoughts on that, it's the last part that has him lifting an eyebrow.]
What if I want to be invited to your bed?
[There's absolutely no denying that Sola is beautiful, and Rilan would admit at once if asked that he is absolutely attracted to her. He's been behaving themselves because they are strangers, but there is a lightness and shift in his tone that suggests that an invitation is something he would absolutely want, if she wanted to offer one.]
You're not the only one who wants to be close. To have more than an amicable partner ship, if something could develop between us. I wouldn't expect or demand privileges but I'd welcome any you offered.
