Her smile lit up his world, soothing the last of the worry from his mind and giving him strength that buoyed his spirits. All of that even before the hand over his heart - where it beat strong and steady within his chest - curled through fabric to hold him close. Not that she had to worry about him getting away! Nothing in the world could have separated him from his lady in that moment as he held her like something precious. Not something fragile, but someone treasured, as worthy of his loyalty and worship as any goddess.
Her words of love wrapped around him and held him tighter even than her hands, and when her lips found his he tilted his head in joyful surrender to her kiss. He met and matched it with an affection both tender and fierce, and if Boreal chortled contentedly to herself in the background and reached out a lazy wing to distract Sascha, well, Tal would thank her later for her discretion. For now, he had a partner to hold and reassure with a kiss whose glow became his whole world.
At least for one perfect evening.
