A fond laugh, though he was forced to withdraw a hand, dabbing at his cheeks with a drawn-down sleeve. He had hardly changed, really, even with the years, even travelling from era to era, he was still the Seimei Kaoru had remembered.
"Yeah, I can allow that, I think..."
And he leaned in to claim another kiss. Soft lips on his own. The whisper of fabric under his hand as he drew back again.
"I'm just glad that you made it back safely..."
It had been crippling, the fear before. Not knowing where people went when they disappeared, or why they did. His own heart-clenching worry that people simply vanished from the Bastion when their numbers grew too many - not returned home, or even turned into statues on the Skyway, just... erased like bad data. Not-knowing was the greatest torment of all.
"I was so worried," A low sigh, but he threw Seimei's own words back at him before the man could dwell on it - "But if you could let me hold you a bit more...?"
