i'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck
A soft huff of surprise leaves the aviator's lips as his eyes search Isla's, inclined to disbelieve her almost as much as she might have wanted to disbelieve him. The only difference was, of course, that anyone would be silly not to fall in love with the Remedy, whereas to say Everest was an acquired taste was likely putting it mildly.
Finding some strength returning to his legs, Ever straightens somewhat. "Well," he hums thoughtfully. "You could always stop, I suppose." Raising an eyebrow, one of his dimples deepens as his smile grows lopsided before it disappears as his expression grows slightly more serious. "I know you're not supposed to say things like this so soon. You're probably not even supposed to feel them, but.." Colour floods into Ever's cheeks as he smiles distractedly, the thought of loving her making it almost difficult to stand still. "..I do."
Reaching for one of Isla's hands, he brings it to his lips. "I suppose if you're afraid of falling, just remember that you have wings, and so do I." He whispers, and if it's the ring finger of her left hand that he presses his lips against, it's probably entirely coincidental.
