( A smile crosses her face, and she presses her lips against his skin once more, hands gently stroking over the rocky surface. )

And I know you will always keep it. Always.

( Another smile, and she rests her head against him as well. )

You can set me down now, if you'd like.

[ He huffs one more time, just to breathe in the scent of her, and then begins the slow descent with his hand to the ground, gently twisting just enough to give her a little more help disembarking. When he's satisfied she's on the ground, he takes a few steps backward, a column of flame engulfing him for a few brief seconds before Clive is standing there in front of her, a few wisps of flame clinging to his clothes before winking out entirely. ]

I concede.

Let this be a lesson, Clive.

( But it isn't, really. Nothing is a competition when it comes to them, or a lecture. Not even her being correct about how similar he and Torgal might be. )

( Founder, will she ever tire of being held by him? Likely not, and Jill lets him pull her close. She laughs, shaking her head. )

No, on that front you come out ahead.

[flagrates]

Founder be praised.

[ Finally! He pulls her in all the way, wrapping his arms around her and placing his chin on the top of her head. ]

And that means you still like me best?

( There is nothing, no place on the Twins or anywhere that she'd rather be than in his arms. Wrapping her own around him, she hums -- as if it's a difficult decision to make. )

I suppose I do like you best, yes. Though we can't tell Torgal, he might take it the wrong way.

[flagrates]

[ It's still a victory he'll take. ]

You're right. It'll be our little secret.
