[He hadn't meant to make her tear up like this, keeping a small, warm smile on his face while she speaks. Tartaglia's thumb runs across her cheekbone as she nuzzles into his palm, attributing some of this to what had happened back on the beach. Perhaps he'll make it a point, now that he understands the magic that those monsters possess and now can use the power granted to him by the Tsaritsa to counter it, to eradicate their entire population so that this would never happen again. He'd be happy to do it for her, if it even gave her a silver of comfort to ease her mind about it all. The rest will just have to be healed by time, and by his unwavering devotion to her.]

Hah, suitors, beware, [he jokes, pulling her forward so that her head comes closer to his own so he can deliver a short yet loving kiss, gently slotting his lips with her own, an affirmation that his love runs deep and flows without restraint. When he pulls back, his gaze is and endless pool of admiration and fondness.]

But don't worry, you really didn't bring the mood down at all. I'm actually thankful for the break.

[Yoimiya do you see how limp his dick is right now]

I didn't figure all of that came from the candy alone- it's not as if it brainwashed you, haha. Maybe just loosened your lips a little bit more is the more appropriate assessment here.

[Which amuses him to no end, really. He's said it before that she's a real firecracker, and every second he spends with her reinforces that. It's a wild ride and he'd never want it any other way.]

You really are a truly amazing woman, Yoimiya. I don't think anyone can keep me on my toes as much as you do. I love you so much, and I couldn't imagine life without you in it. Thanks for giving me a chance.
