"I would think you would know me well enough by now to guess that the potential of danger will only keep me close to your side." It's one of the ways they are so very much alike- he would never abandon anyone he cared about when they were in need.
That deep blush doesn't escape his notice, of course. In a way, it's endearing, but, at the same time, it's making him a little nervous. He tries to ignore the way his heart is pounding in his chest (though he does briefly wonder if she can feel it, as close as she is). But he does gather himself, despite his nerves, and when he speaks again, his voice is softer, almost a murmur.
"I am very much afraid that you are stuck with me." He leans in, his eyes half closing, and slowly, gently, he catches her lips in a kiss.
