[Eleven broke off to laugh, color deepening. The implications there certainly held his attention for a few moments, but neither was he bold enough to voice anything he thought of]
Sorry. [That sheepish smile] I'd like to think my Mum raised me properly despite how non-traditional this all has been. Besides which-
[He colored further, not quite able to hold her gaze] I know if you wanted to be more improper, you aren't likely to subtle about it.
[ It was so strange, not knowing what to do. Lily liked to think she was smart enough to always know the best course of action, but this experience - not least of all the parts involving Eleven - had shown her how mistaken she was. ]
Even though I stick my foot in my mouth regularly? You must like me quite a bit then, I do it often.
Important to me? I suppose the people in it are the most important. Horace and my parents of course. My sister too, though she isn't the most pleasant person in the world, she's still my big sister.

I meant tolerating this experience, not–
[ Lily made a face as a blush spread across her cheeks, wondering if that was an observation or a challenge. ]
And my sense of subtlety is as finely honed as my expert horsemanship.
no subject
[Eleven's face heated, and covered it with one hand. Goddess, he'd been talking about propriety when she hadn't even been..]
Um, good to know..
no subject
And, who's supposed to be the brazen one?
[ Narrowing her eyes at him she leaned in and kissed him, pulling him close again. ]
no subject
Sorry. But- but yes, I don't have any complaints..
no subject
Oh. Nor do I?
[ Uncertain what she ought to say or do she frowned, her gaze drifting downward. ]
I'm sorry too, I'm still not used to having– [ Looking back up at him she squinted as she reached for the right words. ] a friend like you.
no subject
Everything has been nice. I'm glad for all of it- for you.
no subject
Even though I stick my foot in my mouth regularly? You must like me quite a bit then, I do it often.
no subject
I do. I think.. that we might be rather well-suited actually.
no subject
[ Letting him momentarily distract her with a kiss Lily leaned back to look over his face skeptically.]
Because you've always had a soft spot for poorly timed remarks and I'm a sucker for a noble bloke with pretty eyes?
no subject
You're lovely. Compassionate and bold.. Anyone would be lucky to have your favor.
no subject
Oh hush your face.
no subject
You asked.
no subject
[ Because it was easier to turn it around on him than it was to take a compliment, plus it was all quite true. ]
no subject
I'm not as bold, but I did mention we're well-suited.
no subject
I'm the big mouth to your foresight?
no subject
I wouldn't say I have much foresight.. [He sighs, content] But I suppose I won't argue if you think so well of me.
no subject
[ She lifted her chin enough to rest her head on his shoulder. ]
As long as you don't think we should not have done this. I don't want you to regret anything.
no subject
..I only regret how much pain it's going to cause you. But if you're happy with me like this, then I want to be able to continue to give that to you.
no subject
[ Rolling onto her side, she wrapped her arm around him and hugged him closer. ]
There's nothing to regret, at least for me. I'm glad to have known you well enough to miss you like I will when we go.
no subject
I'll try. ..Find something you can take home with you as a pleasant reminder, as you've given me.
no subject
I know I'll go with plenty of things to remember, regardless - but for the sake of being properly courted I wouldn't refuse anything you gave me.
no subject
Is there anything particularly important to you from your world?
no subject
[ She tilted her head back to look at him. ]
What brings this on?
no subject
You made me a gift knowing Yggdrasil was important to me. But I'll give the matter more thought. I'm sure there's something..
