Uldren growled and snapped at the Guardian's fingers as Mac pushed, tugged at and insulted him, but he wasn't seriously trying to do damage. He wondered what the hell the two were saying, but the sweet kiss and Mac's continued closeness made the annoyance of not understanding bearable. Mostly anyway.
His eyes flicked between the two, but stayed on Mac for a long moment when the man looked down at his hands. Uldren frowned a little, knowing that expression for what it was. It aways made him feel a bit guilty when he saw Mac struggling over being together with him. There was so much that he considered necessary in an enduring relationship that just wasn't any sort of normal, and the Guardian would turn himself inside out to provide what he wanted. That wasn't fair and Uldren knew it, but when he had the man's warm body pressed close, he just could't stop himself. He cared about the idiot, more than anyone else but Mara, and as long as Mac was willing to stay by his side, he'd make the most of it.
"Mac. I wasn't really serious ok?" Uldren whispered in his lover's ear, his arm warm and firm around the man's waist, "I wouldn't make you sleep around with some stranger, but I know you'd do it if I asked. You don't have to worry, alright?" He nuzzled Mac's temple, words heartfelt and soft and meant only for his partner. Only if Mac really wanted to do something with the elf, or anyone else for that matter, would Uldren consider the possibility. He secretly treasured the naivety and innocence of his lover, despite how fucked up their relationship was, and he wouldn't ruin that for something stupid. Of course, that didn't mean he might not bring people in in the future for his own reasons . . .
