Viv's quick succession of questions just made Ilya look like he might faint. That or disappear - one or the other. Tim's quick save (again) spared him a stammering session and having to think over his words. English (after all) was not Ilya's first language.

The question of a demonstration though caused the merman to give a nervous little laugh, and then he looked to Tim with a curious expression. Tim's returning expression just made him gulp a bit and then nodded his head quickly. "Alright, okay.." he then murmured.

Sliding closer to Tim, Ilya worried his lower lip with his teeth, and then tilted his face up a bit towards Tim. "Never thought we'd do this for an audience," he then murmured before reaching out to draw Tim down the rest of the way.
