Why can't it be both?

[ Midnight does have pink eyes. They catch the light in the back like a cat's eye, giving them a shine at the right angle, under the right light. If Kaveh insists on his observations, here's evidence for one he may have already started to gather: humans, in most worlds, have evolved past all apex predators. All of them. Nothing preys on a human being except for other human beings, and even then, it's mostly in a metaphorical sense.

Except for vampires. Vampires, like Midnight, are exceptional. Of course. ]


What's more, you've put yourself right within strike distance. All one has to do is this...

[ Chandelier still in hand, he tilts his head to the side, mimicking the pre-kiss motion of letting his eyes flutter shut, coy. But he grins instead of puckering up. His eyelids open as quickly as they fell into the charade, as fully present and lucid as before. ]

Call it flirting if you like. I like to think of it as amorous pattern recognition.
