'Amber flame' perhaps a touch more feminine that he might have pictured in reference for himself, but not at all unpleasant or unacceptable. Additionally he had to admit it was an accurate enough title, his coat hues were after all, various tones of amber.

It did not seem she took offence. This pleased him. It would not have upset him much in the long run had she reacted poorly, but Hunter would have been disappointed as it would have meant a likely end to the pleasant interactions. As expected she also was not one to bow, but this much he knew already given the story she had shared about her past.

His smile was mirrored back and this amused him greatly. It was endlessly entertaining to find another with a similar dark humor and perhaps mischievous streak. Ironically his smile, this time, had not meant to induce anything but teasing understanding. When he wished to be terrifying Hunter's expressions tended to take on a wholly different cast, one she would perhaps see with a bit more time. Although he hoped never directed twoards herself.

Brows arched slightly as she admitted favor and referred to him as a powerful man, just a bit surprised at the sudden information. She had just started to get to know him and he had already made a strong impression, but was that a bad thing? He would say it was not. Some moved more decisively than others and this was not necessarily a downfall.

Still he did not see a need to 'hold a position' to back up his ability or prove worth. Social chains, however loose...this is what he saw such things as ''position'. A toy to pick up and drop when desired perhaps, but hardly necessary.

She wove around him and with twitching lips he made no move to stop the motion nor did he shift position or back away as her muzzle neared his ear (he felt no need to be defensive). Lips lifted slightly, not in threat, but to allow an attempt at landing playful if perhaps ever so slightly stingy nip at her jawline/upper throat.

"As equals?" he rumbled, voice almost a black purr in its natural cadence, more so when he was pleased. "....if that is the offer. Than I will accept." and say for as long as it suited. Although, he had to admit so far she had held his attention more than anyone prior by a good degree.
