[Ah. This was a style of speech she was amply familiar with. An anxiousness, an overthinking sort... gosh, maybe he should have a chat with G'raha.]

Haha... it's no trouble at all, I simply ask out of curiosity. His Highness definitely comes off as the passionate sort who would want a "true" union, for sure... enough that he may feel the need to rush.

He is definitely new at bonding outside of an obligation, and pausing to listen... a place like this, outside of his responsibilities, will have him thrive in it with some time and care to boot.

[She reached out and took his hand.]

One day at a time is just fine, sweetheart. For him, for you, and for you both. Okay?
