"Are you going to break my heart and tell me you're this intense with everyone?" He regrets the phrasing as soon as it's out, feeling oddly self-conscious that a definitely playful joke may have come off as something else.

Still, safer to latch onto the other conversation, and he's nothing if not a man who listens to his instincts. "Apartment. Transportation. Military grade defense systems. Cache of priceless artifacts and illicit magick. She has her charms." He laughs at the other question though. "I would say technically yes and practically speaking, no. Usually if we made it back to the Strahl, we were more or less in the clear." It's been...months since he's talked about any of that. There's something pleasant about it, and a little wistful.

Aerith brings his attention back to the present though, holding out a hand and giving him another order so easily he almost says yes, my lady. There's a tiny flush in his cheeks even as he smiles at her, offering his hand and steadying her as she jumps down. And then lingering a beat too long with her hand in his and his frame around her, making sure she's stable, noticing the way she smells clean and warm, mind drifting back to being in the blankets with her all night like it happened weeks ago and a thousand miles away.
