[At least someone here understands how to put on a show. Lorenz's indignation spikes immediately when he's tugged even closer, as if being pulled and squeezed this whole time wasn't already enough, and he scoffs his disapproval right into the kiss. When he mirrors the motion of curling fingers into hair it's not to appease the crowd but rather to tug, sharp and irritated, in case his attitude wasn't already clear.
But he could have shoved himself out of here earlier, and he hasn't, a heady mixture of whatever the diamond mask is doing to him and the kiss itself making him want to— to prove a point? He, Lorenz Hellman Gloucester, certainly does not need to prove to anyone at all that he's a man capable of a good kiss!
Still. Perhaps later he'll unpack how easy he is to provoke, but for now he opens his mouth to the kiss, teeth seeking to sink into an irritatingly plump lower lip with a low noise of self-satisfaction. Grip still tight in his hair, he could be enjoying this for, hm, reasons beyond "kissing is nice," but so it goes. Later, he will remember utterly failing to do this thing with manners and burst into flames.
