[If he knew that Frederick had ever talked about marriage to her in reference to him he'd probably keel over and die. Not that the man was wrong in any way - it'd be a lie to say Slaine hadn't fantasized about it before. The dream of living a normal, simple married life with the girl he's devoted himself to always seemed far out of his grasp, farther than the distance between Earth and Mars themselves. Even so, it was a comforting thought, when he did allow himself to indulge in it.
As always, she's right. It isn't so bad. Nothing could be that bad if he had her with him, especially after all the bullshit he's been through in life. She makes it easy to smile, as he finds himself slipping his fingers a little further forward, to loosely lace them together without thinking much of it. If there's one thing that his time spent with Yona had taught him, it was how to be a little more relaxed and a little less reserved when it comes to physical affection.]
They're the last things I'd ever take for granted, Princess. You're right, it isn't so bad. Things always get better, don't they?
[What's this? It's almost as if cynical Slaine's been replaced with an optimist...]
