??? No, no -- you are allowed to care, Azalea. Cease putting harsh words in my mouth! I love you. Sigh. I will make sure it does not happen again.

Humf . . . perhaps you would enjoy a feast? Would one's presence satisfy you alone? Name something, and I will oblige. Yes, I claim to love you, because I have quite literally taken your hand in marriage. It is my duty, and threaded within one's vows.

Would you prefer me to lower onto my knees and beg for forgiveness, or merely sit by you and relish in your almighty presence? 💜 Yeees, yes . . tied together forever, through words and the binding of rings. You are not getting rid of one anytime soon, my Azalea.

Ah ha ha. I am sure it'd be a pleasant sight indeed -- very well then! Go ahead and settle down, one will accompany you for as long as you wish. I am your husband, as well as the loving tick at your side. My damsel, my one and only.

( Offering a quiet, albeit soft snort as they go to settle down beside of her, immediately leaning on her shoulder. ) Is that so? Does one deserve the role of a hero?

i'll devote myself to you to the core of my very bones.

( Offering a little grunt as the rough nudge is given to him in return, those teal optics glistening with something that could only be seen as amusement. He then goes back to relaxing his muscles, one leg crossing over the other. ) I am aware, it is merely a jest!

i promise you i'll always be right here. i'm right next to you， forever.

i won't leave you, i promised you that. i'm already yours, to call your own.
