"No-- I don't think so, anyway?" He says, with a slightly wry curl of a smile. And there's a twitch at the corners of his lips as Ivar pats the space next to him on the bed, and he obligingly moves to sit on the mattress, looking over at him. But he can't help taking it as at least partially an invitation. Although, Francis is also someone that keeps knives under his pillow (and far too many on his person). So he's not completely ignorant to the idea that Ivar might have a knife near to hand, but he's not thinking that it'll be that sort of talk, not yet, at least.
Or well. If knives are involved he'd much prefer it being a fun thing rather than because Francis is bad at talking about feelings.
"Look, it's just... Dodger called you his boyfriend. And I like you, too." The fact that he likes Dodger is mostly just implied. It's in the tilt of his head, the way teeth scrape against his bottom lip, a glint in those violet eyes when he says his name. "And I just thought... You know." There's a vague gesture of fingers, a shrug of his slender shoulders because Francis is bad at this. But he's trying, at least. He clearly thinks that Ivar is important enough to be worth talking to about it, anyway.
He doesn't quite know what it is about the Viking King that gets to him, but he's different from most people. Special, interesting. So he's here instead of just ignoring that it might be a problem.
