[ he sounds stunning. ]

...

[ she just turns her head to look at him. and yes, she'll let go of his nose.

she knew some were dark and creepy, but?? ]

Don't people read these things to children??

[He grins.]

Haha, well, they read the watered-down versions. My mother, she read me the scary stuff. About goblins that come and eat all the people they want, especially if they're naughty.

[ and so much is explained ]

...

I don’t think you’ll find those ones here to show us, unfortunately. [ she thinks. she hopes? ]

[:D]

I'll take that as a challenge, Alex.

[ NO!! ]

Please don’t.

Why not? It could be fun!

[this is the man you chose to be your boyfriend, alex]

[ yes hello customer services? can she get a refund. ]

How is scaring me with creepy fairy tales fun?!

Because that way, I can tell you of all the ways I can beat up those scary fairy tale monsters to protect you, and therefore you'll be super impressed.

[he is not being serious but, hansa,]

[ hansa.

that's cute. ]

[ she pinches his nose again. ] I've seen you beat up a crocodile, you don't have to go out of your way to impress me.

Hehehe.

[Its a nasally laugh because of the pinched nose...]

[Another light kiss to the back of her head.]

I just like being able to protect you.

[ she lets go and turns around enough that she can properly hug him, resting her head against his shoulder. ]

You already have done, plenty of times. You don't need to find more reasons to.

[He pulls her easily into the embrace, his hand lightly stroking her back.]

I don't want to find reasons, but...it makes me happy, knowing you're safe.

Does it help if I say I’m as safe as I’m probably going to be here?

In a place where we have people murdered like clockwork every Friday? I would hope not.

I'd feel worse if I said I promise I'll be fine and then something happened, Hansa.

...

[He trails a hand over the side of her head, fingers brushing through her hair.]

I know. I mean, the last thing we want is to be unrealistic. Still doesn't stop me from wanting the best for you.

Hope for the best, but understand the worst could happen?

[ that... sounds like the most realistic thing to do. she lifts a hand to place it over hansa's. ] Hopefully it'll all work out.

Haha, I guess. It's a way of looking at things.

[And a nod.]

I want it to work out. I'll do whatever I can to make that happen.

Just don't do something that'd get you in trouble in the process. Please. [ flashbacks to last week ]

Well, I'd rather it be me in trouble than you, but...I'll try.

[ ... mmm. yeah, it's not great on the other end knowing you can't get an definite "yes I'll be fine" but... ]

Okay. If you're keeping it in mind, then that's enough.

...

[He huffs.]

Well, if trouble comes knocking at my door, I'll just say "no, thank you!"

[ ... heh. ]

Think it'll listen?

To someone like me? Absolutely.

[ confident. ]

Alright then. I'll trust that it will, if it ever comes to that.
