Lenore has to fight to keep her expression from being too amused. Gideon's cute. Very cute. Lenore would not in any way use the term suave, but her efforts in that direction have an earnestness that is solidly endearing.

"Well, look at you!" Lenore says brightly, eyes sparkling with delight. She knocks back the rest of her wine and rises, stepping between Gideon's legs and perching herself on one thigh. "Wild success. Go on then. Pick me up."

She understands the figure of speech, but it's more entertaining to take it literally.
