Felix relaxes subtly when Jim relents, even if the recognition that he's pushing his luck is subconscious. And the gardens are themselves a marvel. Isidor called this place a palace and Felix well believes it. Ornamental hedges and flower bushes tall enough to cover a discreet rendezvous, little carved benches tucked away here and there, perfectly aligned shrubs and decorative streams...
It's all very charming, but there's something undeniably refreshing about stepping out onto the bank of a simple lake. It's probably as sculpted as everything else, but still there's something pure about it. Felix sighs and lifts his face to the breeze coming off the water.
"Trust a ship's captain to find his way to the water," he teases, as if the smile he returns to Jim isn't soft and appreciative. His hand brushes Jim's in passing as he steps in front. He stands on the bank quite unwarily, admiring the view across the water. It looks like there's something hidden in the trees on the far side - if this were Cyrodiil Felix would take it for a wayshrine, but maybe it's another ornamental feature.
"And trust an explorer to find the best spots to sneak away to..."
