[He smirks, but it's not even close to his eyes- even at this angle she can likely tell it's a mask]

You say such sweet nothings in my ear, Azura. I meant what I said. Where you go I follow.

['if it's a fight, I'm ready']

If I could continue to do so for the rest of my days, I would leave this world a happy woman.

[ Her arms tighten around him and she gives the slightest of nods ]

Thank you. Wherever the waves take you, I will follow in turn...my sweet prince.

[ even if it's containment again, or transferral, or going rogue altogether ]

[darkova]

[he makes a soft punched out noise at that. And after some thought whispers to her like she did earlier- his voice ragged and almost panicked.]

We could flee tomorrow night- with my skills and the new knowledge of the guards in the woods we would have better luck than most...!

[... and it would mean abandoning everyone else]

[ Azura stiffens up. Fleeing in the midst of panic but leaving other people behind to deal with the fallout. Wasn't that basically what her she and mother did when Anankos took over? But her mother had no choice but to grab her and run, and right now...it's different.

She straightens herself up and gently kisses him. ]

Goodness, you just want me all to yourself. I have other precious people, you know.

[ a soft 'no'

Think of the others ]

[darkova]

...I knew that would be your answer.

[He knows himself. He knows if she had denied his service that night, he would have been gone by the next weekend. Wishing for the Foundation to kill the Darkova (and him with it) was the only reason he stayed, after all.]

Then why did you ask, you silly man? Were you planning on playing "kidnap the princess" this whole time?

[ there's no code behind that. She really is just wondering what he's thinking.]

[darkova]

Would you hate me if I said the thought crossed my mind? I am more a vagabond than a prince, you know.

[prayerwheel]

You can kidnap me any time you'd like. But if I'm willing, is it truly kidnapping? I would know.

[ she definitely would have mentioned the Hoshido incident oops ]

[darkova]

If you awoke away from this place I'm not sure it would be so willing, love.

[prayerwheel]

Hmm? [ eyebrow raise ] What do you mean?

[ she was joking about him, personally, taking her somewhere, but ????? ]

[darkova]

If I thought I could save your life. But... even if I thought of it, I could not.

[Get you a retainer that will kidnap you right outta a murdergame]

[prayerwheel]

Hmm...perhaps not, no. But regardless, we're both still here, are we not? I think your plans or lack thereof have worked out well in that case.
