You were? [Curious. She'd thought they might have had a run in with one of Lucien's tricksy gods.] You'll tell me about it, won't you?
[And she's grateful for the new gesture, too. He's very comforting. You might not imagine it, with his size and taking after a creature of the deep. But they fit quite snugly together, and she's happy for the weight of him, the strength. Too often she feels frail standing on her own. Her fingers flex, find new grip on his palm. Her thumb rubs over the minute scales there, easing down the grain.]
...I think I prefer this too. [She bumps her head up softly, mindful of the briars. Puts her other arm around his back.] Not the way it's happened, but meeting you. Everyone, really, but you've been...very, very kind to me. And you're so much fun, and you're always honest, and you care so deeply for everyone.
It's an honour just to know you, Sidon. [She chuckles, soft and breathless.] My good Prince.
