[ you are a mod, this is as reported as it gets.

kaeya enjoys the kiss for as brief or as long as aquila allows, his eye fluttering back open a bit as he pulls back as well, though remains close to them regardless. ]

A bride, hm?

[ he smiles at him, lips curled into something genuinely warm. he... can't help it. sometimes you kiss the people you respect. ]

What, did I make your heart flutter?

[guestservices]

[ do you kiss all of your commanding officers?? hello???

they - laugh, actually, and put a hand to their heart, flopping backwards against the chair in a mock swoon. ]

[callalilies]

[ just aquila apparently?????

and when they do that, kaeya joins in the laughter, patting their chest in turn, grinning. ]

So romantic, a seaside wedding.

[guestservices]

Ah. I've been swept off my feet. [ okay. they're clearly still very amused. ] Let's runaway and open a makeup shop somewhere.

[ what ]

[callalilies]

[ he is too, draped over them with a grin. ]

A makeup shop? Do elaborate. Why that?

[guestservices]

[ they don't even hesitate: ]

Because then you get to look at beautiful people all day.

[callalilies]

Archons, your mind.

[ he has stars in his eye(s). how smart. ]

[guestservices]

[ preens ]

Aren't I a genius?

[callalilies]

You are diabolical. We're going to be wed immediately.

[guestservices]

I'll have you know my dowry is very expensive.

[callalilies]

Oh no whatever shall I do...

[ laughing a bit more and giving the little sun pin on their collar a soft tap tap with his fingertip. ]

Better step up my tipping, then.

[guestservices]

Agreed.

[ aquila. please.

they tip their chin up a bit, pleased. ] Admittedly, you're better at it than others. This is one of my favorites.

[callalilies]

Glad to find something you happened to like... seemed fitting for our job and all.

[ aw a preening bird, kaeya smiles, content as he looks at the pin and then just... lays his head down quietly, focusing alone on the sound of the waves and whatever might beat under his ear. ]

[guestservices]

[ aquila does in fact have a heart under there. it's steady and true, like iron.

they hum, and reach up to absently stroke a hand through his hair. ]

I've always enjoyed the dawn.

[callalilies]

You as well?

[ he glances up, the hand still in his hair. ]

Reliable... steady, the promise of light. I do as well.

[guestservices]

The time before it might be the darkest, but the dawn always comes.

[ that has a layered meaning or two in it, neither of which aquila explains. they're still looking out at the ocean, as far as kaeya can tell. ]
