Aye... but she's still very inexperienced in so many things. She's like a young maiden, and I would have her enjoy that than be deified. She deserves to be loved and cared for like everyone else.
[ She doesn't want Venat to hold herself back, either. But she sighs and looks aside. ]
I know... 'tis not normal for people that aren't miqo'te and hrothgar to have more than one partner. And some people here keep saying that if you care for someone, you should be fine with just being fulfilled with one- or two at most.
Not that I would stop mine own ways... but I don't have lovers for the fun of having them... 'tis because I can give you love equally. Whatever kind of love you desire. So... I wonder if I'm hurting those beyond you all. Who I do care for, but not on the same level as you... if they feel the need to say such a thing.
Then you should make her time here well worth it, shouldn’t you?
[ He listens to her, humming in thought. He is actually thinking. ]
I cannot speak for Aymeric, Moon or Gaius in the least. But you know that I understand your cultural nuances with partners. I feel as if you are happy with the way things are, and that means I am also happy. Your amount of partners makes no difference to me. I have just as many and my own upbringing is very monogamous.
[ She intends to- for Venat is just as important and wonderful to her. Would she mind this, as well?
But she quietly listens to what Estinien has to say (that braincell sure has been doing its best)- and hearing it from him soothes her and once more tells her why she loves him so much. ]
... You're far more understanding than many, in not judging against preconceived notions. And I know you would tell me if I ever hurt you.
[ She pulls his face down gently for a kiss, savoring his lips and smiling to herself. ]
You're stuck with me otherwise, partner. Always and more.
[ Estinien is so bad at voicing what he wants to voice. Only because these are words that would hardly ever leave his mouth at an earlier stage in his life. ]
And I love you just as much. Even the thought of calling you "wife" fills me with something... [ he points to his own chest ] here. It is not something I've made a habit of getting to know. But I should be comfortable with the feeling. Aye?

She’s quite a few years on either of us. She has a lot of wisdom, doesn’t she?
[ Raising a brow. ]
Why would you be selfish?

You’re sure you want to be stuck with a pain in the arse like me?

I love you, Estinien Varlineau, my partner, my dear friend. Calling you husband will be the happiest sun of mine life. I hope you're ready for it.
