[And then just watches her all glowing eyes darkly simmering.] Like I keep saying... it doesn't have to be right now. And it might be the quickest way to test my heart and whether you can keep it from going overtime... but will you show me?

Preferably before we're in a real life and death situation or then I might die. [:V Way too casual about that.]
