( Hearing him even mention going into near-death situations more often for her affections, she couldn't help the drop of her facial expression. It was quite comical if she wasn't serious about it, having her face go from adoration to exasperation. She had to reach over to the hand holding her close and pinch the little bit of skin revealed from his glove on the top of his hand. )

Is that why you put yourself in these situations? For my attention? ( Of course, his desire to get stronger and fight strong enemies will get him into situations like that... But not for her affections, which he can receive when he wants now, with awareness of their surroundings of course. Last thing she needs is to be scolded at by some elder about 'disrespectful youngsters with no manners'.

She just looked him in his eyes, doing her best to hold her exasperated look. Before an idea popped into her head to tease back. )

You know, I'm no longer in the mood for your affections.

( Her own teasing, going remove his arm from around her, so she can go to stand up. Giving herself a long stretch, arms in the air, but she couldn't hide the smile from slowly creeping up to her face. Really, having someone care about her like this, it was so new and nice... She really didn't want to leave his side at the moment. But she has to teach him a teasing lesson in return not to go deep dive into a near-death situation again. )
