[That certainly does feel good... better than good. There's even a small smile spreading across Kain's lips as she touches him. What has he been waiting for, all of this time? What is he waiting for now? He's always been hesitant about this sort of thing, given his past, but even so... this is different. This is now.]

Rydia... [He breathes her name softly, leaning in to kiss her again. He pulls her closer instinctively, one hand stroking her soft, green hair, the other down low on her back.] I would love to be yours, more than anything. I care about you in a way I never have before, for anyone... [Or had those feelings returned, for that matter. It makes him feel so giddy, almost weightless, to know that she feels the same way toward him.] I will be yours forever, I promise you.
