I could jest that somehow I would survive it, but I am enjoying your presence immensely. I did take your presence for granted. An act I will not fall victim to a second time.

Originally, 'twas a gift meant to be shared when all four of us together, but I do believe I enjoyed this unveiling more. And it is a distraction. One your mind needs. Though do not take that as an absolute. No topic is off for discussion.

I believe we both have. Taken each other's presence for granted. It is best to be reminded while we can still remedy it.

A plot, I should not be surprised. But I did like this unveiling the most, I think. And the same for you. We may speak of whatever you like, heavy or not, whatever it is you wish for today, I would fulfill it. I simply wish to see you relaxed and unguarded for a time, letting yourself be at ease.

I do tend to be dramatic from time to time. A carryover from empire building.

Do take it as a reminder when you look upon it that you are always in my thoughts. Ever the simple gestures stick with us the longest.

... Unguarded. Do either of us even know what that means anymore? I surely do not.

I know I am, as you are in mind, but the reminder is welcome.

And--well. I should hope you can be unguarded with me if with anyone. Though you are right the difficulty of that is...Nigh unsurpassed, especially without the ability to merge.

Without a doubt. I'm quite sure I wouldn't be able to survive the cold shoulder if I hid things from you. You have made that adamantly clear.

[He does brush his finger across his chest.]

Now that is an activity we should undertake later. I think it would do us both good.

To be truthful I am not sure how long I could stay mad at you. Though that is not an invitation.

[He puts his hand over Emet's! Squeezing gently.]

Then we shall. Either if you wish to nap this afternoon or tonight.

After whatever you have planned. I imagine I will be disinclined for much activity after other than being wrapped in your aether. Besides.

[He lifts a hand, rotating a wrist as if to stretch it.]

As pleasant as this warmth is, I'll 'burn' if I stay this way too long.

Very well. We well bask only a little while and then I am righting the umbrella.

And my plans are not strenuous, but yes, they can be the last thing before we adjourn to dreams.

[He props up on his chest looking down at him, mocking tone all the way.]

Strenuous or no, I'm not doing my duty correctly if you have wandering thoughts of moving after merging. I would be terribly hurt.

[He cups his cheek, scoffing.]

As if I could contemplate moving once we are entwined. I almost suspect ulterior motives behind such words. Should I insist we both be properly and strenuously worn out?

Now you understand.

[Leaning down to kiss him softly before resuming his lean over him, staring. Just forever grateful for his presence.]

[He returns the soft kiss, then brushes his fingers through Emet's hair, looking up at him in quiet adoration. He loves this man with all his heart and it does show.]

As you are likely to burn if we stay out for any strenuous activities, should we relocate?

The umbrella should suffice enough to keep the worst at bay. Proper shade as well. We did pick a location with the most direct sunlight.

Though now I do wonder what strenuous activity you were referring to.

[Lying his head against his chest again.]

A rousing round of basketball naturally.

[He pets his hair!]

[He laughs.]

I have been practicing you know, and I have the benefit of Garlean precision.

Why did you pick that form again?

It blends in well.

[Says the guy who was always "the suspicious and conspicuous stranger in black robes and a mask"]

Yes, that must be it.

Though now that we have talked about my woes, are there any that are present on your mind?

I cannot think of any we have not covered. Or that I wish to speak on, really. I am tired of grief, and yet need time to process. I am also still giddy with relief and your presence.

Just as you claimed me for the day, in turn I have laid claim. Be it grief or joy, I am here to listen, to soothe, to be whatever you need me to be.

But you need not fill the silence, as I said earlier to bask in your presence is nearly enough. And to feel you.

[He brushes hands above his heart and across his collar.]

You are just as I need you, always.

[He captures that hand, turns it up and kisses Emet's collar.]

And yes. Jests of basketball aside I would have all of you, bask in all of you, your heart, your presence, your laughter and tears. To indulge in your body now and soul later, if you wish.

[He does slightly shiver at the mention of indulgences and the kiss.]

Please.

[It is nice to seem him react so, pulling his hand up gently to kiss his inner wrist.]

You say that so sweetly. It does make me wish to tease you more. But how would you like to be indulged?

I have found recent events have left me feeling viewed unfavorably.

[He watches, eyes half lidded. He does not move his hand or his arm, but he does slip a his knee between Lahabrea's thighs.]

Adoration will do.

[He brushes his fingers over Emet's palm and then down his wrist, pushing his sleeve back to kiss up his inner arm halfway to his elbow.]

Adoration I can provide and more. But I will not have you burning in the sunlight. The umbrella or another location we will need.

[He watches with such intent as he moves up his arm with those kisses, as just a bit of color blushes his cheeks.]

The umbrella then as I don't have an inclination to move. As for the rest of the sun, well, I will have you to shield me, won't I?
