"It's your life. Don't feel bad about going out and doing what you feel is right. I personally need to learn how to keep my claws off you." She chuckled. "I'll go through Cinthia's contacts and see who'll be willing and powerful enough to back up your quest. Maybe some demons to help you control that side of you."
"How long do you think it'll be?" he asked.
"As long as it takes." She was aware of the unpredictability of situations like this. She couldn't give him an exact timeframe.
"God, I hope it's not long," he mumbled.
She chuckled and pecked his lips. "You'll be plenty busy. It'll fly by faster than you think. The Nazek country is beautiful, and the different kingdoms are really interesting. It's just the capital that sucks ass."
"But I don't want any of that. I wanna hang out with you," he said, smiling slightly.
She smiled back. "Seems we're both clingy. But I'm not wanted. I was exiled too, by order of the Empress. I can't step foot into any territory claimed by the Nazeks, even if some of the kingdoms don't agree with her ruling."
"I'm still scared about the whole thing," he admitted, "even if I'm getting trained."
She kissed him lightly. "I'd be worried if you weren't."
"Do you think I can do it?" he asked, tilting his head.
"I think if you apply yourself for once and believe you can do it, you'll kick his ass with no problem. Pro tip: He hates hellfire when it's being used against him, even though he loves torturing others with it."
"That's a bit of a stretch," he said with a smile.
She grinned. "It's what I'm here for. Exaggerated moral support so you'll do exceptionally well."
His smile grew. "I love you so much."
"Mmm. I think I'll need more convincing than that. I just went on a rant proving to you that I love you, so you'll have to step up your game," she joked with a pretty good poker face.
"And what would convince you?" he asked, going along with the joke.
"I dunno. I think as my boyfriend, you should know the answer to that."
"We both know how clueless I am when it comes to relationships."
"True, true, true. So I'll give you a few hints. I'm in the mood for fun and we have only gone out once as an official couple. Carnival is open…"
"You wanna go on a date?" he said, smiling.
"Hmm. Mayyyyyybeeeee." She fought to keep her poker face.
"And when would you like to go on this date, hm?"
"I never said that I did." She bit her lip to stop herself from smiling. "But it would be nice if we could go on this hypothetical date a little before noon."
"Well, then," he said, tapping her nose. "I offer to take you to the carnival."
She finally let herself smile. "Awww, how sweet! And out of the blue as well! Bonus Boyfriend Points."
