[The difference in their species Nikolai considers as a distant afterthought. Although his awareness of the difficulties posed by their incongruous anatomy is heightened in this moment, as he considers her across the table and imagines how he would take care of her — it doesn't strike him as somehow wrong that they might couple. First and foremost they are a man and a woman. Besides, Konoha isn't the only one with a body out of the ordinary now...

There are, of course, so many other reasons why they should not proceed. Her husband and child. His...whatever he has made here with Alina. But these scatter to his peripherals. The core of him is consumed by the dragon's wild instincts. Through him pulses a heartbeat that urges him to protect the woman in front of him from the ache of loneliness.

Konoha gives so much of herself to others, always worrying over everyone else's hurts while hiding her own. She deserves to be spoiled. She has earned the right to be greedy. And who better to provide for her than a man into whom is presently grafted a dragon's inclination for excess?]


Yes, I would.

[Mixing gentleness with firmness, he pries one of Konoha's hands from the tea cup she seems to clutch as if it would keep her afloat, save her from drowning. He pulls her hand toward him and brushes his lips over her knuckles. Without pulling away even an inch, he looks her in the eyes. His gaze is liquid gold.]

So let me.

[It almost sounds like a challenge.]
