Oh, I'm a bully now? And what are you going to do about it?

[He's just teasing her while holding her close, still smiling and looking at her with nothing but love -and some amusement- in his eyes.]

Now I'm the stupid one? It wasn't me who ran to meet someone who scared me and gave me a bad feeling without telling anyone, was it?

[He has no idea if he looks handsome to her or not, hus just knows he loves feeling this way and it only happens when she's around. Though if she told him that he looked attractive he would probably blush and deny it.]

Oh, well, if they all perished already I suppose there's nothing I can do. Unless I find a way into the afterlife in your world while you have me locked there, then I could exact my revenge on them. Doesn't matter that they are already dead.

[He has just been with her, so he doesn't really feel a need to be with her, but she has been without him for so long... Part of him, the phoenix inside him, wants to be affectionate with her and make sure that she remembers him and has his scent all over. So that no one doubts she's his wife.

He pauses a bit as she talks about her first heat, he remembers her being in pain and uncomfortable and him being worried and not knowing what to do. He had thought that at least it was over and it would be a while before it happened again, but it seems that he wasn't allowed that break.]

Did you suffer? While they happened in your world without me? Or did they not happen?
