Koren sat there in the middle of the water for a moment before hearing the chimes sing with a soft breeze. Knowing she gave breath to them, he opened his eyes lightly as she spoke. He glanced up at her with a smile, soft and serene. He stayed where he was, feeling rather content with the air and feel of the water up to just under his collarbone. It was very relaxing for him and while he felt a want to stare at her, completely, he felt it would be a rude gesture.
So after she had said what she did and he nodded to her, he closed his eyes again and moved his head back down to sit right before the water. His voice was much softer than before, having inflated his lungs as he did causing him to lose some capacity. "I would imagine for someone who is intent on learning all she can, i really am. Though, i feel, at least for myself, that im just normal. But i can also understand others reacting to me in a way that would be more dangerous. I dont know why. Maybe its because youve agreed to the arrangement. Or maybe its because ive taken a fancy with you. Im not sure what the true cause is. But i feel comfortable, relaxed or any word that would describe my lack of caution around you. And THAT... Is something that im fascinated about..."

Anaya tilted her head in acknowledgement, shifting to sit more upright so her chest and shoulders was out of the water. She looked thoughtful, chewing her lower lip a little bit as she considered his statement. For a second she tilted her head back in thought, resting the back of it against the edge of the tub and exposing her throat. A slight sigh and she looked back up to meet his gaze with her own. "First of all, your eyes are seriously pretty like this. And honestly.....I don't know. I really don't. It's something I realized too and have been trying to figure out. I am not usually comfortable around people at all, much less inviting someone who could wipe me out without any effort to come up to my place. Good to know you've taken a fancy to me though" she finished with a teasing tone and a wink.

Koren gave a soft chuckle to the statement, feeling the sentiment completely in what she said. It seemed as both were sitting in a rather unknown position, not entirely sure how to progress and move on from the stalemate. With all the knowledge and experience he had, he could and did still get caught in the simple dilemmas that presented itself in these situations and many times, he simply walked away from them. But this was one he didnt want to walk away from, but rather find out the reason behind it. He knew a lot of the issue, but not the solution to remedy it. After she was done talking, he caught the last comment she made and chuckled a little more throatily at it. It was a very rare comment he had only heard a few times before and so he still found it amusing.
"when you put it like that, then it seems a lot less like im simply not guarding myself and much more like i really do have a fancy for you. While im not opposed to it, and i do like the idea," He looked her square in the eyes again, his expression still soft with a small smile, "I find it a little hard to believe that you would find anything interesting in me besides the knowledge i have to bear. Its also hard for me to think that you would trust and be comfortable around me when im," He quoted her words as he spoke, keeping his same tone instead of something to mimic what she said, "someone who could wipe you out without any effort..." He slowly moved back a bit to find a spot to sit on as he got comfortable on the edge, much of his upper body slowly pushing up out of the water into view.

Anaya chuckled a little, flashing an appreciative smile as he sat up on the seat, still slightly towering over her from across the hot tub. His words made her pause and consider her words carefully. Clearly she had met the one godlike being in existence with no ego or seemingly any self esteem. Raising an eyebrow she gestured to his body that was out of the water. "Well one, as I've already pointed out I am not blind, despite what my eyes may look like on occasion and I can definitely appreciate a pretty package." She grinned and winked at Koren with that statement, enjoying the smile her teasing seemed to bring him. Holding up two fingers she tilted her head a little before hoisting herself to sit on the edge and more easily look him in the eye. Steam rolled off her skin in the cool night air as she spoke. "Second, I feel the need to point out that I'm apparently not only comfortable enough to sit half, or in your case more,naked in a hot tub with you, but trust you enough to be highly considering binding myself to you. Not to mention offering to let you sleep here. I don't do any of that for literally anyone as I generally don't like anyone. I like you." Her tone was light, but rather blunt as she spoke despite her realizing what an oddity their fondness for each other was given the short time span. Leaning forward a little she pushed her hair away from her face. "The thing is though.. you don't get nearly as much out of this as I would. I don't have any.." she trailed off and tilted her head "much.. to offer."

Koren listened to what she said first and a small smile played over his lips. As he glanced at her, he saw her sit herself up on the side of the hot tub before hearing her second remark. He gave a small chuckle to this comment as well, as he could completely understand the sentiment behind it. The last bit of the comment caught him a little off guard and he wasnt entirely sure how to think of it before simply shrugging to himself and agreeing to it as he felt very similarly. As he was about speak, he heard her speak a final time, pointing out the most glaring thing that anyone besides himself would see right from the beginning. He shook his head lightly as he tackled that issue first.
"Of course im not getting much from this situation as you would be. Because im not looking at it to gain anything. And even if you DID have something i wanted," He looked her square in the eyes and spoke, his tone very deep and serious. "I wouldnt impose such a deal just to get it. Im not like the scum of this planet that like to influence and bribe for where they are." He stayed silent for a moment before going back to his smile, and speaking much softer now. "As for your package comment. While i may look appealing, i refer more simply to my age. And most dont ever get that much from me. So i do feel very appreciative that you dont see the number behind me, but rather what is in front of you now."

Anaya shook her head, tilting it a little to raise a single eyebrow at him with a teasing grin. "Well I think we both know I have something you want" she winked at him. "However I was not implying that you would make the deal to get it." "Not that you'd need to apparently" she muttered under her breath, quietly enough to not usually be heard. At his comment about his age she flashed a bright grin at him and a light laugh echoed out into the night from her. Her face lit up when she laughed as she pushed her hair back out of her face. "Darlin' while I am not nearly older than dirt like you are" she winked at him and laughed again. "I am no fledgling either. I was brought into existence not long after the fall of Lilith, hence my regret at never getting to meet her. I went through my earlier years meeting those who had known her and spoke either quite fondly of her or spoke in absolute loathing. Who wouldn't want to meet someone so polarizing?"
