Keiran knew he was pretty good with the magic he could do, unfortunately, the pressure his parents had placed on him to also be good at healing meant that regardless of what he did, he didn't feel like he ever reached their expectations. Thankfully, part of running away to another country and leaving them behind was the fact he could also begin to leave their expectations behind too. At least that was the theory since he had the feeling it would take more than a few years to get rid of that sort of mental conditioning.
The first step to throwing off his parent's overbearing and oppressive demands and attitudes was by taking some risks - the first of which was apparently going to be going home with a complete stranger. It still felt like a bad idea, the sort of bad idea that might end up with his picture on some sort of poster but Keiran had to admit that also made the idea just a little exciting too. He'd never really had the chance to make poor decisions before, so the idea of treading a dangerous path was a little thrilling - although that really might have just been the alcohol talking.
Regardless of why he was doing what he was doing, Keiran was still pleased that Phoenix picked up on the fact he was bringing the conversation back to the idea of going home with him. His gaze lingered a little too long on Phoenix's thumb as it ran across the other man's bottom limp, causing him to look away and across the club as he exhaled. Was this a good idea? Like, an actual good idea or was his dick just telling him it was a good idea?
Glancing back as Phoenix's fingers trailed along his bare arm, Keiran gave a brief nod, not trusting himself to not say something stupid. The silence was probably sexier than some dorky question about transport options. Knowing Phoenix had the only one making moves while he continued to make awkward responses, Keiran decided to make a 'bold' move, in some attempt to demonstrate his interest. Reaching over from his far side, he hesitantly place his hand on the other man's knee, though in realising he couldn't completely reach without leaning oddly against the table, shifted his hips to incline toward Phoenix a little more.
Flashing a grin, Keiran dipped his head a moment before looking p to admit, "Sorry, I'm a bit awkward - " As though Phoenix wouldn't have already noticed...
