[Facing down Skrimir hasn't happened to him yet, though he'd be delighted to know she's willing to jump in front of an enraged fleabag for him. [/sarcasm]
He's still pretty sure Tibarn could sneak in killing him if he really wanted to, anyway. But Naesala's trying to justify this and not think about that happening.
He makes sure to look her in the eye before saying his last piece.] If we do this - if we get into this - you need to know that if, no, when we go home...I don't know how much we'll remember from this world, but, I...I can't..... I need to keep Kilvas my priority.
I need you to tell me you understand who and what you're getting involved with.
[Okay. He's left that out in the open. He already knows this isn't some dumb leftover fleeting teenage crush and she's serious about her feelings. What she does with this has to be her choice and hers alone.]
[She looks back into his eyes when he makes eye contact with her and speaks his piece. He was being serious and so was she. But she does give his words some serious thought out of respect to him. After a long pause and serious thinking on her end, she finally goes to speak to him. In her mind, there really isn't any choice.]
I understand but this I am sure of, that the me at home still has these feelings for you and is just waiting for you. I can only pray that we will remember all of the important things of this world.
[A warm chuckle.]
Of course you will need to do that or else you wouldn't be a good king. But..... I do understand and it makes no difference. I always knew that to love you, I have to love both you and Kilvas equally the same or else I would have no right to think of such things.
["The me at home". Thinking about different worlds and timelines makes his head ache. But for what it's worth, he's known all along, even if it wasn't something he had time to readily concern himself with. Leanne is Leanne no matter what. And that's comforting, at the very least.
Acknowledging she isn't taking this lightly, his wings stretch from their cramped position and enclose the two of them together. They're not entirely relaxed yet - and hey, neither is he on the whole - but it's a start.]
You've gotten dangerously good with persuasion. [And then, he uses the same tone he'd used for these words earlier when things were less serious.] I fall for it every damn time.
(She closes her eyes as his wings moves to bring them close. She goes to move her free hand off of his face to brush those dark wings. Yes, its a start, a very good start. Her eyes reopen when he speaks again and gains a smug expression.)
Look at whom I have to deal with. (Then his lighter tone and she goes to shift her position a little in order to lean against him.) Do not under estmate your own charms as well, my king.
[His wings are enormous enough to completely encircle them when fully extended, and he does so. Hiding spot within a hiding spot. He graciously lets her lean into him, and savors the feeling of her hands brushing against his wings.]
Mm, well. Perhaps you were right about my influence. [a small chuckle as he takes this whole situation in] And I certainly can't argue with that.
[Not that he's partial to using them on her, of all people. ...On purpose.]
Let's...take it slow. Okay? I'm... [still a little uncomfortable? worried about you? really actually hoping this will work out??] ...I want to make sure this turns out alright.
[She smiles even more when he lets her lean against him, not really helping but to let out a few happy chirps at his whole reaction to her being so close.]
Of course I am right about that. [Shifting a little to get comfortable against him.]
Aye.... I can agree to that. [A brief thought.] Perhaps it will help if we can keep it hidden from our crewmates or keep it only a select few know.
[She nods her head against him.] I am sure that it will be alright.
[Naesala takes a moment for a deep breath and a chance to pull himself together. He removes his ponytail and slicks everything back again to redo it; once his arms are free, he lets them rest around Leanne. His chin is propped on top of her head.
Her being so happy about this makes him feel a little better.]
Not a problem. [He agrees whole-heartedly. Besides...secrets are kind of his thing.] If you say that...do you have specific people in mind?
[She...knows more people than he does. But he hopes Ace isn't on that list.]
[She giggles again when he cuddles her and even though he may not see it, she is positively glowing with joy and happiness.
Maybe one day he will be just as happy as her one day.]
I am glad that you agree with me.... Probably only three myself. Selphie, Toshio and Zeff. [NEVER MARCO! As much as she loves the phoenix, he will never find out if she had a choice. If he knew that both ships will know within the day.]
Those are the only ones I think can keep this a secret.
[Zeff? Really? He almost says aloud. But the man doesn't seem like the gossiping sort, so he shrugs it off. Though he hasn't spoken to the other two she named, so they're her responsibility.]
Alright. I'll have to trust you, then. [Because it's not like he's close to anyone himself. Except...well, he'd agree. Marco must not find out.] It's a deal. Make sure no one squawks our secret.
[It's not that he's unhappy. He's just going to need to fully come to terms with this on his own time. But in the meantime, he's not going to drag Leanne down just because of his insecurities. So, he shakes his head, and tries to lighten his own mood.]
A man tries to play dead and his captor seduces him. What a world we live in.
[Yes, Zeff. He looks like he will be a trust-worthy type.]
I won't let you down. Zeff and Toshio I will trust to keep it quiet. Selphie, I may have to see if she can keep it a secret first before telling her....
[She giggles at his words, so proud of herself.] I cannot think of a better way to seduce the man. Didn't you say that I am quite the cunning villain.
It shouldn't be that hard. I don't know why some people get so worked up over others' relationships. [gives a pointed but good-natured clear of the throat AHEM LEANNE]
I severely underestimated your capabilities. And look where that landed me. In trouble, as always. [Kidding, he's kidding. Sort of.] ...Though you truly picked an appropriate place to bring this up.
[He's starting to wonder if this was her intention all along.]
[She laughs at the throat clearing.]Probably because it's fun to get wrapped up in what's going on.
[More wing petting though.] You know that I never cause trouble. [Lies, she knows that she is a semi-trouble magnet.] But you are always there to bail me out of trouble so it works out. But what better place then our spot? Now we can add one more good memory to this place.
[He would never believe that no, it wasn't her intention.]
Yeah. I guess we can. [Even if it's not really the same place.
Naesala goes silent, wings flexing under her touch. They slowly uncurl from around the pair, giving them a view of the forest again, though they still remain partially cupped.
After a while he lets out a particularly big sigh through his nose that ruffles Leanne's hair.] You seem awfully sure about all this, you know.
[She goes to let out a contented sigh and she knows it's not the same place but for now.... It is as good as the real deal.
Green eyes goes to watch the uncurling and take in the sights of the forest once more. This.... This day really couldn't be anymore beautiful or perfect in her mind.
She half-closes her eyes when he sighs into her hair and then speaks. She moves her hands to rest over one of his.] About all of what?
[She reaches up at the shrug with a hand to give his cheek a small caress.]
All that I am sure of is the amount of love of have towards you. It makes me so happy.... That not only did you acknowledge my feelings for you but you are willing to give me a chance. You know, for the longest time I was worried that you have taken on another to be your mate.
[She wiggles a little to get more comfortable against him, closing her eyes completely.]
Oh? I am glad then. [Another contented sigh before blinking and glancing up.]
Really?I am shocked that Nealuchi didn't have to hold back all of the female Ravens from you. [Still in the dark of the old crow's shipper ways.] Nonetheless I am glad that you weren't interested.
Well, I didn't say that. It's one thing to be actively looking, but it's another if I'm naturally irresistible. [scoffs!! come on, Leanne, keep up] Besides, Nealuchi has better things to do than fuss over my life.
[She giggles and puts on a fake pout.] Then what, o irresistible king, did you do with all those ravens? [She pouts on a mock mad tone, trying her best not to giggle.] I don't know, Nealuchi always seem to be by our sides since I was a hatchling.
Why, I kept them at bay, of course! Tried to let them down gently. As you said, a king must have his priorities in order.
[He sounds pretty smug about the whole thing, but she can probably tell he's teasing. ...Not that he's beyond one-night-stands or anything, but she doesn't need to know that.]
And once you were found at home, I made sure to put the old coot on your security detail so you'd always have a raven with you. [Your babysitter problem now.]
Of course, of course. You know he always has nothing but good things to say about the treasured heron princess. [starts listing off of his fingers...] Lovely, beautiful, courteous, kind, ....hard-headed, stubborn as a mule....
How is he doing in his old age? I am surprise that he was able to keep up with me. [But then the list starts and she likes it at first but then the bad traits.]
I am not hard-headed or stubborn as a mule! [Mouuu!! His hair is out of the question and his wings... Yup gonna reach over and attempt to ruffle the wings up a little.]
[okay, she got him] .....Will the insults never cease? [dramatic sigh]
Nealuchi's fine. Spry for an old crow but I wouldn't be surprised if you out-fly him on your own. Might be going senile, who can really tell with hi--hhheey hey hey! [Arches his wings!!
But they are already ruffled. ALAS. First his hair, now his wings!] You're going to run me ragged before we leave!

I am sure that I never gave him any problems as I know that you only picked the finest for my detail.
