I'm here as your physician, naturally. I've come to make sure your humors are quite balanced, that's all.
[ Haha... an old-timey medical pun. In spite of whatever anxiety throwing himself to the lion's—er, goat's—den might be giving him, it's just not within Julian's reckless spirit not to make a joke out of it. Or, better yet, to not flirt anyway. After who knows how long resisting all Lucio's many, many passes, he figures he's lost the right to pretend he has any decency or self-respect left in his system whatsoever now that he's submitted to it, but he hasn't quite given up the ghost of shame yet.
Which of course is like blood in the water to the Count. Alas. Julian sighs like even he knows his attempt at a joke is useless and knocks back his drink, overdramatic even in how he tilts the tumbler to his lips. ]
You know, I still say we're much too sober for this conversation. Keep drinking; it's good for you. Doctor's orders.
