So you'll sic them on me and save me from them as well. So it really is just a threat, huh?
[ He can't help but smile though, even if it's a small one, not at all worried. Okay maybe a little at the ancestors but not a lot. The risk is worth it for all the teasing and playing between them in that moment. ]
I look forward to it. Though I'll make sure you have the ring.
Good. I'm glad we agree on that. If I'm going to chase you, I want it in this lifetime, along dark beaches and through the meandering streets of Italian villas because we think it's fun. Not because there's an emptiness in my life you once filled.
[She grins and hums, thinking about what he'd said.]
Now you know we really should do that sometime. Italy. Spain. The possibilities are endless. That said, I agree. I hate the idea of you going through that again.

[ He gives her a look but there's a playfulness there despite the hint of gloom in his tones. ]
What's next? That's how it's always been done?
[ Even if sometimes that is the best answer, and he's adhered to that enough when it was needed. ]
Oh good. Make sure they're on linen and sealed with wax and put some lavender petals in it. We'll need to get you a signet ring to use, of course.

I always did want my own signet ring and melting wax. One day, you will get a fancy letter from me.

We both know I'd really be the last person to sic them on anyone, let alone you.
[She grinned, watching him.]
I'm looking forward to it. Come on, I'm hungry. Want to go grab a bite?

[ There's a pause, just watching her fondly before he nods. ]
I'd like that. Besides, I have to take care of you, don't I?
no subject
Exactly. Especially if I'm to live to an obnoxiously old age.
no subject
Oh you had better. One way or another. I'm not giving you up.
no subject
I especially have no plans of giving you up either.
[She'd always liked the way he looked at her - even those serious and dark looks.]

It's not happening again and then waiting to find you once more.
no subject
It does waste a lot of time that we could better spend together - this dying and you refinding me thing.
