[There's a very obvious wince from him when she looks at him like that, accompanied by an apologetic smile. He knows she wouldn't like it, but this is for a purpose that's far greater than worrying about autonomy for the night.]
I know you don't like it, [he says with some guilt and remorse lacing his tone,] but I do have a deal with her, after all. I let her write her light novel, she helps us defeat Celestia. As it stands, that's my number one priority, and I don't have the strength to beat them all on my own...yet.
[Because once they win, they can have some semblance of a normal life. They can be safe, and not have to hide in a teapot the rest of their lives. More than anything, that's what he wants right now, and if it means relinquishing his body every now and again to get it, to ensure that Lumine is safe...he'll do it.]
So as much as I enjoy having you all to myself, I'd like Aether to come back as soon as he can, so we can move to our next location. If you'd like, we can talk about it later.
