'I believe you' brightened the space around them, sunlight peeking through the darkness of fear and anger that had brought her here. Zavien smiled, letting her forehead settle against his, breathing in her air with quiet ease. He knew it probably wasn't the end of this, knew that Soh was human and that doubts would certainly rise again, but for now, he took her at her word, letting the peace calm his aching heart.
His lips were curved with a hint of humor, his nose brushing playfully along hers. "The same way you manage to do it to me." Without any thought, his hands fell to her back and arms, returning to their absentminded rhythm of acknowledgement, reminding himself that she was there, that this was still real, that he was allowed to be this happy. It already felt like more than he could contain, always pressing against the seams of his heart like it might burst, love overflowing in abundance. "Do you think there's a limit?" he asked teasingly.
