"Good boy," Dahlia croons, shifting with delight against him - and if that draws a little more blood, so be it. "See, I knew speaking with you would be productive. I daresay your husband would have started throwing punches by now." Sighing and considering his questions, she shrugs her shoulders. "It isn't about what I want, it's about what we - my Family and I - need, Ronin. A really simple thing for you and your beau, luckily - we just need you to do nothing."
Smiling, all but laying her head upon his shoulder, she breathes in the warm scent of fresh bread and sea salt that lingers upon him. "No flapping off to Halo to help rid it of our newest gift. No digging for lilies and roses and whatever else nature cooks up to try and hold us back. And absolutely no jaunts to Starfall, mm?" She gives him an encouraging squeeze. His torso will be coated with crimson beneath his shirt by now.
"Do that - or don't do anything, I ought to say - and your little family won't be bothered by mine." And at his confusion, she can't help but titter. "Ah, that's right. Your parenting skills are still a bit touch and go, aren't they? See, since nobody bothered to check up on your son after that dramatic little argument he had with Remi, your daughter took the liberty. Now they're both tucked up in Haulani like sitting ducks."

let me put my lips to something
let me wrap my teeth around the world
