[ Oh, definitely. Squalo wouldn't be Squalo if he didn't intend to use all of it as a weapon. ]
Why?
[ He's not sure what that would prove, aside from being unusual. He grimaces a little at her soft touch -- not pain, just being grumpy that she's being gentle with him, as if he needs that! -- ]
[ -- and then he's snorting a laugh. Looks like it did lighten the mood, even if he merely shrugs. ]
I don't normally do either with someone who's afraid of getting bitten.
[ Is he missing or purposefully ignoring the part where his throat is a literal shredder for anyone daring to even think about oral? Yes. ]
[ (He can actually suck those spikes in, sort of, when he wants to. But it's funnier to keep it to himself for now.) ]
[ If she's letting him know that she's gathering information, she should also be willing to share it. Perhaps for a price. But often, it's worth it. ]
[ Of course, he immediately perks up at the sparring offer. She may not be a swordswoman, precisely, but she's still a strong opponent, which is better than what he's had until they started having some fight dates. Which was growing rusty, pretty much. ]
I'm always willing. Feel free to wake me up with an attack.
[ Another thing he should brush up on, sensing danger and waking up at a moment's notice. ]
[ Oh no. It's going to be a crotch punch, isn't it. ]
[ Squalo probably stays up a while longer - maybe offers her a card game, or goes for a walk while she sleeps, but eventually he'll end up half-asleep on his bunk, refusing to properly close his eyes and relax while someone else is in the room with him. At least he's faking it pretty well, though. ]

[ Information is power, Squalo, geez. ]
[ Talia snorts at that, eyes flicking upwards in a half-hearted roll. ]
I see.
[ She retreats back to her space on the sofa and stretches, the sigh somewhat less tense than from her arrival. ]
Snarky response aside, don't worry about altering your schedule for me, but we could wake up together and spar in the morning, if you're willing.

[ Raising brows to the challenge, Talia quips with delight -- ] Deal.
[ And then she readies herself for bed, looking more forward to this two day slumber party. ]
