[ good boy... he's being called a good boy? he snorts, though it's a much more gentle and appreciative noise than it normally would be in front of say, a professor who normally says such things to his students. not weird btw. leona certainly doesn't care for it. but when lilia says it? maybe he huffs. maybe there's a little more color in his cheeks. maybe he tries to avoid eye contact for a moment before he can't help himself and stare straight into lilia's eyes. there's love in it. there's happiness. yet they are moving quickly and slowly at the same time. it's acknowledging and admitting what's there that hasn't been completely solidified. but that's okay. they don't need to hard commit. they've already committed in a way that would be incredibly hard to deny. ]

You don't gotta say it out loud. [ a beat, and then leona sighs. ] But... still keep sayin' it.

[ coming from him? yeah. he could get used to it. he might have to start playing the part. as leona begins to slowly sit up, placing his hands on top of lilia's, he grabs him by the wrists and pulls him on top. with how expertly lilia kept leona clean, it's a no-mess and no-fuss way for him to get the fae to join him once more. ]

Kinda wanna see what you taste like now. Mind givin' me a chance?

[ paying lilia lip service in a whole different way. ]
