Again.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Heh... Alright, it's a promise then. I've never actually used my of my break time before in this way... Wait, you're planning locale this early? ... You might be dirtier than me." He pointed out, as if surprised by this... Before he smiled. "I think I could get used to this..." It was clear Nerissa was the incorrigible sort, and Albion himself was the sort to take advantage of a given situation, so there was no telling what the two of them would get themselves involved in. If their past track record was any indication, nothing good...<br/><br/>Maybe the camping thing though... That sounded like a legitimately good idea to him. "Camping... I haven't actually been camping in years, so... Yeah, if you ever get stricken by the fancy and you want to go camping out there, I'm along for the fun." the pale man smiled, wondering what kind of place Nerissa had. Was it a cabin? A temple? Any kind of idea just a little removed from civilization sounded exciting... Moving alongside the vixen, Albion sat down beside her and scratched his cheek. "I've been quite the pain, and there isn't an excuse for it... I'm just happy I can well and truly stop trying to hide from it. Your happiness, the truth..." A wry smile crept upon his features. Opening up felt a little strange, but the feeling of liberation was unquestionably good.<br/><br/>The change between them just... It helped so much, allowing the two to share more affectionate moments like this without concern of who saw them... Save for the fact they were still in a stall and needed to go somewhere safe. He'd forgotten how much time passed... "It was easy to ignore feelings and emotions a lot of the time... At least in the past it was. Then again, I was about as fun as sandpaper on soft bits." He added with an awkward sigh. To hear Nerissa would be by his side forever... "I know... I know you will. Until the day I die, I'm yours." He smiled, leaning in. "Alon... You want to use that? I... Could get used to that."<br/><br/>Though it seemed she was poking fun at his choice of words in confessing to her, leaving him to blink. "I can't remember... I thought maybe you said something about it back in my home, but then this event kind of... Blew my mind, maybe I was just thinking this could be mistaken for that... But when I... Forced my way in there, I knew what I wanted. I just had to go to war with myself a little bit and hear the truth I kept trying to hide from." He grinned, preferring to not let her know how that particular conversation went. As he reminded her once before, his mind was not a good place to be.<br/><br/>At the reminder, he gave a quiet laugh. "Oh, crap, you're right. I came in here to get fitted, and I did a different kind of fitting... And it was a perfect fit." He couldn't resist making the comment as he reached for the soda and took it, a small swig splashing into his mouth before he swallowed it down. "I mean, they were sacrifices for an important cause... But hey, at least you're still the best looking one in this stall. I was worried I might have bruised your neck earlier..." He winced, leaning against the wall with a pleased hum.<br/><br/>"I guess a lot of things don't work out for us the way we intend, but they still work out in a nice way. But Neri..." He started, guiding a hand to hers to hold. "You... Know there will be problems. I'm not the most problem-free man around, and there's still the situation with Lily..." He sighed, closing his eyes. "I don't know how she'll take it. Given how much we joke and she snark at me, maybe she won't take it too personally... But then she could very well hate me. If she did... I could live with that too, since I would deserve it for going behind her back... But for you, I'll take it. Because without you, I wouldn't even be here to contemplate this." His hand clenched, squeezing hers gently.<br/><br/>"Alright... Enough doom and gloom, we gotta get me pretty again for tonight." He laughed, wanting to shift things back to a more pleasant atmosphere as he leaned in and kissed her cheek. "So... How should I start getting dressed...?"
