[Amal looks back over to see that smile, and can't help blushing a bit more.]
Before I went to the First, I didn't think that could ever... happen. [He sets his food on the coffee table and leans back.] I thought—if I messed up and needed rescuing, no one would come after me. Either because they couldn't, or...
[He thought he was disposable.]
Well. I didn't think too highly of myself, as you can guess.
So it was a little wild to find out that someone would break the laws of time and space just to help me. [He reaches over to rub Raha's hand.] Though I'd have done the same for you, no question about that.
In a way, the you from the past really did sweep me off my feet. I landed in the middle of the woods instead of naked in your chambers, but that's a minor detail.
[He leans over a little to whisper into one pointy ear.]
Oh, I could see enough.
That cute little button nose. Soft lips begging for a kiss. And someone who was scarred just like me...
[He hums thoughtfully.]
In a different world, we could've been a fun kind of disaster. But I was too much of a coward, and we were both married to our duties. Maybe it's better that the pieces fell differently.
[Raha will decidedly not point out that he'd been planning on dying for most of that time and therefore proooobably would have rebuffed anything anyway. Probably. If he was strong enough.
[Is anyone strong enough to resist a naked man in their bed? Amal had wondered. But never could do that, not with his past.]
It did. And I wouldn't trade this for anything.
[He leans in and bumps their noses in a little bunny kiss, then chuckles. He would like a real one, but if Raha is occupied by food he doesn't want to attack his mouth. That would be rude. So he gives Raha the opportunity to decide where this is going, merely letting his fingertips linger on the Miqote's cheek.]

Amal doesn't know that!!!!!!!!! but perhaps one day Soon]It was a really creative idea, that's for sure.
[They obviously need to get out more.]
Picture... myself?
[Judging by the expression on his face, he hasn't thought too hard about it.]
Hahah... not as the knight in shining armor, if that's what you mean.
[His cheeks turn some shade of scarlet, and he glances off to the side.]
I spend so much time playing the hero that I suppose when it comes down to it, I wouldn't mind being swept off my feet for once.
no subject
I can see that.
[quiet thoughts are thinking, don't worry about it.]

[A FUNNY ONE, HONESTLY]

H-had the summoning worked exactly as intended, you still would have been clothed---!
[he'll just. drop his face into Amal's shoulder before he explodes ok.]
no subject
Who said that would be my intention?
[He is not making this better.]
no subject
I am fairly certain that your first act upon being summoned to a new world by an apparent stranger would not be to strip.
no subject
If I needed the money, I might.
You were just cute enough for me to consider it anyway~

[yes he was self-conscious about that shut up.]

[He'll kiss that ear as consolation, though.]
no subject
If he was strong enough.He does smile a little, looking back up at Amal.]
It all worked out in the end, either way.

We'll always find each other.
