[It's a relief to him how she responds to his kiss, the way her lips open to him and let him in, sending a shudder through him. His mind begins to cloud, shoving away the negative thoughts he'd had throughout the last three days. If she was actually going to get better. If she'd be able to look at him in the eye again, after the display she'd given at being upset over his appearance.

Instead, he focuses on the fact that in this moment, they're still alive, and he still gets to kiss her like she mattered more to him than almost anything else in this world. And he's not afraid to show it, every caress of his lips slow and deliberate, to make absolutely certain he gets his message across to her.

It's as if he doesn't ever run out of breath for this, tiny whines coming up out of his throat, but they suddenly get interrupted by another voice in the room that he wasn't expecting. And then, sudden pain, his chest exploding in a violent storm of broken bones reminding him that he was injured.

Ajax groans, his hand grabbing onto the rail of the bed as he leans over in pain, the other hand somehow managing to keep a hold of the walking stick. Everything hurt, but he can't say it wasn't worth it...]

Uhhhggggg...Lumine, did you really have to do that...

[His forehead hits the rail that his hand grips, breathing hard to try to deal with the pain from her shove.]

Sorry Aether...I was just overjoyed that she's going to be okay, is all. Give me a minute, though...

[He can't move yet, he's in so much pain.]
