Some are shyer than others. [ another kiss ] But I trust you'll be patient with them.
[ He shivers just a tiny bit at those words, the faintest glint in his eyes. With the next spoken words, he gives a look of appreciation and a nod. ]
Patience... that's always been easy, for me, especially with those I love. [ given he loves almost endlessly, well... ] And even more so with you and my closest family.
