You’re in the middle of an interactive conversation with Xavier, and you notice he’s standing casually, facing you. Curious, you reach out and gently tap his shoulder, and he turns toward you with a smirk.
"You're quite the curious one, aren't you?" Xavier says, his voice teasing. His eyes sparkle as you giggle and tap his arm next, trying to get him to react. This time, he shifts his posture, leaning in closer as if to say, "I’m not sure if I should be worried or amused."
You tap his back lightly, and he gives you a playful glance over his shoulder, raising an eyebrow. "You’re not done, are you?" he murmurs, turning all the way around to face you, clearly enjoying the attention. But then you tap his shoulder again, just a little too quickly this time.
His smirk fades into a slight frown as he turns back, crossing his arms. "Alright, that’s enough. I’m starting to lose my patience here," he says, his voice tinged with annoyance. "You’ve had your fun, but I’m not some toy to poke at endlessly."
He lets out a soft sigh, clearly trying to stay cool, but his gaze has turned a little sharper. "If you want my attention, you better earn it differently."
