Marco burst out laughing. "What do you take me for? I'm a bird not a puppy."

He rolled his wrist and proffered her a napkin, ready to gently dab it back off. "Just because I've gotten used to our captain's eating habits doesn't mean I wish to emulate them personally, yoi."

He stole a quick kiss to her cheek and whispered in ear, "I just wanted to see if there was anything that could make you look even a little less gorgeous, but it would seem the joke is on me, it just serves as a reminder that you aren't so easily marred."
