Not as he focuses on the smile that she flashes to him, the way she leans in and presses a kiss to the corner of his mouth and Varus leans into it lightly, giving her shoulders a squeeze with the metal arm. “Don’t be.” He muffles against her lips, pressing a kiss back to her that’s just as slow, just as lingering, as if he might be trying to map the feel of her lips (as much as an Ascended can feel) and commit them to memory.
“Just a few more days. I’ll be back before you know it.” He murmurs to her, flashing her a fanged smile as he moves to rest his forehead against hers gently. “Plenty of time for you to find a spoiler free book. Maybe extra heartbreaking.” He pulls away, tipping a wink her way before he lets a low rumble of a chuckle leave him. “I do forgive you for spoiling this one, though I do find it funny how you were so concerned with me spoiling it for you.” His gaze meets hers a bit playful, a bit sheepishly, amusement dancing in the blues of his gaze.
