[ The traced touch of Corrin's arm draping over his hip grabs his attention, coupled with her squeezing his hand as he looks into her eyes. ]
No... [ He has to set the record straight here for sure. And of course, he doesn't stammer for her every time; especially when he gets intimate enough with her. ] I'm not surprised.
[ Not anymore. Not with the ways he makes his heart pound. The way she makes it pound even now. ]
[ How lucky he is? Does... Cloud really not understand how it's the other way around? How can he be the lucky one here when it is Corrin that feels absolutely blessed?
She hums and continues to keep a hand at Cloud's hip. Maybe her thumb might sneak under the fabric of the man's shirt, if permitted. Still, the hand that holds her own is brought to her lips. Corrin kisses Cloud's knuckles - doesn't matter if they are gloved or not. ]
You're wrong. I think it's me who is lucky. [ Corrin smiles softly. ] You don't care about my status or my draconic blood. While you want to protect me, you don't treat me like I am glass or disrespect my wishes.
[ The princess leans up. Just enough to brush lips together. ]
I was sheltered for many years. It's true that I don't know many things about the world or about people, but you don't tease me or look down on me for it. Cloud, you instead look for chances to expand my world.
[ The affectionate brush of Corrin's lips upon his knuckles wasn't lost on him. And thankfully, he'd since peeled off his gloves since arriving in their summer suite. It's difficult not to feel a subtle shudder render down his spine as he has to temper his excitement. The reality and the weight of being left with the princess, alone, on a private beach getaway, was starting to sink in as she may attempt to sneak under the fabric of his shirt. If she does, he's not about to oppose her.
Though they may have to be careful... They had a whole day ahead of them. Did they really want to spend the first one entirely in bed? Temptation is getting stronger and stronger all the same. ]
Mm. Maybe... You make it fun to give you some of that royal treatment. [ Just as she leans up to brush their lips together, he closes his eyes with a deep breath through his nose, humming contently without the dire need to heat things up. It's gentle. Soft and slow. Everything that he could ask for right now as he finds himself growing increasingly comfier lying on his side with the draconic princess. ] But...let's just call it spoiling you.
[ Because it's everything that she deserves as much as this was for him. ]
If anyone deserves the world...I'm looking right at her.
[ In truth, she doesn't mind resting here for a bit. They can spend another hour or so just relaxing in this suite. After all, the plane ride had been long. Now they are in need of recovering from that, though Cloud might not need as long as Corrin. She still has to adjust to planes, considering they throw her slightly off balance and the like. But being alone in here is comfortable and not daunting at all.
She lingers close, not really doing anything to create heat in this moment. It's supposed to be soft and sweet. Warm and lingering, like small embers. They can get fired up after dinner or after Cloud starts seeing Corrin in that swimsuit if he wants, but she has plans at least for this. Maybe even walking around the shops and along the beach as it cools for the night.
Yet once more Cloud's words wrap around her, seemingly putting her right back into place. All of the things that she had just told him don't seem to change his perspective on it at all. There's a sigh that escapes her, exasperated but fond all the same. ]
You can't just let me have the last word on these things even once, can you?
[ The fact that Cloud's eyes were practically closed the entire plane ride over lent to him not having to fuss with his typical bouts of motion sickness. A blessing in disguise, really. As for what they're doing right now? He was of a like mind. Embers stoked, their mutual tenure in Lunatia had done a lot for helping them be more open with one another. It was just the nature of the world and how they exchanged Chroma, after all. Even without that positive thrumming sensation coursing through their bodies though...
This just felt right. Touching Corrin, his confidence growing and his affection for her building, he didn't need that rush of Chroma that enticed denizens of that planet to seek out more. It all felt so good with her. So right. His lips curve into a gentler smile when she lets out that exasperated, defeated little smile.
All so that he could lean in and brush his lips to the top of her head as they lay there in comfort. ]
Have at it, princess. [ It's a tender usage of her title...and he means it too. She can say the last thing and he'll stop. If only because he likes the sound of her voice. Though he does want to make sure and ask. ] Say when and we can get up and changed.
[ Not right now though. He's content to be here with her for a little longer. ]
[ That rush of Chroma is no longer needed, no. It's now something of a distant memory. An afterthought, really, just as it had been once they had gotten to know one another. When they had started to truly become more intimate - emotionally attached not just physical attraction at play. If it had been merely the physical, then it's doubtful that they would be here, like this, right now. That there would still be this lingering desire to see one another at this sort of capacity.
She feels his lips against her hair and she just huffs. It's a little bit of a pout, especially because Cloud is just humoring her now. How can Corrin truly get the last word in if Cloud is just going to hand it over to her like that. ]
You're still not being fair, Cloud. It's not really a victory when you do that.
[ Yet the princess doesn't really sound upset. She still carries that exasperated but fond tone in her voice. Though Corrin just shift so she can just bury her nose into the base of Cloud's neck. Yes, they can get changed at any moment. But she likes this warmth. ]
Next victory's yours. [ A beat as a smile plays upon his lips. ] Promise.
[ Feeling Corrin bury her nose into the crook of his neck sends a shiver down his spine, coaxing him to draw a deeper breath before loosing it with a deepened hum. That felt good, actually. An affectionate warmth that he finds himself subtly nuzzling himself against furthermore. ]
Mm. Ten-ish more minutes.
[ Another gentle kiss against the top of her head as he breathes deep of her scent, a smile gracing his lips when he gives to her just above a whisper: ]
Thank you, Corrin.
[ Not just for this trip. But for everything that she's shown him and given to him since the day they first met. ]
