Ah, that's sort of... cute? Maybe it shouldn't be cute, but it's cute, and there's not stopping the faint smile that comes in response. Iskandar lets him 'hide' as much as he wants, moving his hand up to ruffle through Waver's hair again, not quite rough but more playful this time around. Now that a lack of immediate danger has been confirmed, Iskandar is sure he'll be fine.

Which means he can stop being quite so delicate, which is nice because being delicate definitely doesn't suit him. He keeps his attention on Waver's throat but this time he gives him a short, rough nip. The hand on Waver's thigh slides up, Iskandar wiggling his way under Waver's shirt so that he can brush his calloused fingers over his smooth skin.
