"Of course I like you, Serr! I -" she fumbled, hugging him closer to her, laughing as she buried her face against his shoulder. "You're you. I like everything about you. You're not the boy I found wearing makeup in the trees anymore, but the man I've grown to rely on more than anyone else. We fit well together, or at least I think so. The healer and the scoundrel. An unlikely pair that I'm proud to be a part of." She felt odd declaring this so openly to him all of a sudden, but he didn't seem to mind. He was making no move to run, and was surprisingly not fidgeting like he usually did when serious talk happened. "I won't be nervous. I'll be the best you could ever ask for. Swear it," she continued to say, her voice growing a bit softer as she lifted her face to kiss his cheek. Odd declarations atop a bushi were not how she had planned the day, but she couldn't have asked for a better one.

He almost felt bad being a scoundrel when she was such a good person, but as long as he was her scoundrel, as long as she didn't mind his tendency to lean toward the questionably legal, he would try not to think too hard about it. Serr's arms rose again to wrap around her in a more proper hug and they stayed there this time. "Just be yourself. And I'll try to be better too."His cheeks colored slightly as her lips pressed to one of them. He hoped she didn't notice.

"You don't have to try and be better. I don't want you changing any. We'll both just be ourselves and everything will be okay," Eziya stated, pressing her cheek against his. "Besides, what would Fiia and Thess think if you started changing suddenly? They might think you possessed or worse. It would be very unfortunate indeed."Things really hadn't changed all that much between them, but they sort of had? She found it hard to explain to herself and even harder to say out loud. They were just Serr and Eziya. Two peas in a pod. They'd work things out as they went. "So uh, what does that make this now?"

Serr let out a soft, amused snort. "Yes. Unfortunate." After the way Thess and his aunt had pushed him toward the realization that this frightening, wonderful thing was what he wanted more than almost everything else, they would probably be ecstatic at the news and any subsequent spiritual possessions that promised to keep him safe. "They'll be very happy."Her question took longer to respond to, and he sat in a strange anticipatory silence while he thought, watching the Matori man grow larger and larger as they approached. There were so many things he could have said that would have been too much, that might have scared her away when he'd only just brought her close enough to touch, but eventually he found an in between. Something he was happy with, that could grow into what he really wanted to say. He touched the ring she had given him, twisting it once with his thumb. "This is us. Still you and me, but something more too."

"I do believe I can live with this arrangement," Eziya smiled, giving him a light peck on the lips. It was a fast action, but enough to make her blush and look away awkwardly. Things were okay between them. What had started out as a big concern for her had ended up as something much better. She would just try to do the best she could. That's all she really could do. "This was a bushi ride well worth it."

She moved away again before he could react, but Serr could still feel her lips on his, no matter how briefly they had been there. He brought his fingers to them, smiling faintly, but dropped them just as quickly. The smile, however, remained. It was all a bit silly, but he was happier for it. Ecstatic even, though his shock wasn't letting much of that through at the moment. His cheeks burned hotter than they had when she'd limited her kisses to his face, and he cleared his throat before replying. "Yes, it was."
