Why can't it be for both of us?

[rezni]

It could be.

Though eventually, I'd like it to be solely about you.

[ And them. ]

[sunmon]

Would you?
Well, I'm afraid what I've picked up won't help with that.
Though I'm certain I'll enjoy using them on you.

I would, I mean. If you gave me the chance.

[rezni]

You know I will.

[ What a predictable answer, but it is easy to give her. There is no hesitation, no second-guessing. Of course he would give her the opportunity. ]

Someday I'll ask in return, and hope you are generous with me then too.

[sunmon]

It sounds like you have a guess for what it is.

[rezni]

In fairness, you did allow for some hints.

I'm saying yes to you. I trust you with this.

[sunmon]

[ still? with all the trouble she seems to bring upon them? she struggles to imagine it, wonders if she had ever been so trusting, even of mal. but nikolai seems sincere. never flags. ]

I have to wonder if I'll ever find something you don't trust me with.

[rezni]

There's only one way we can find out.
I can commit myself to trial and error, if you're interested.

[sunmon]

It's not the worst idea you've had.

[rezni]

Is that interest I detect?

[sunmon]

You have to ask? I didn't think I'd been terribly subtle about it. Now or previously.
