[Elizabeth squeaks when Gai pulls her into his lap, but she goes willingly. Very willingly. It was moments like this that Elizabeth realized she had fallen for Gai truly and honestly. Her heart hammered when they were close like this, but she still felt completely at peace.]

[She wraps her arms around Gai's neck and arranges herself comfortably in his lap.]

You didn't take advantage of me. I had something to do with this, didn't I? [Elizabeth smirks at Gai with a raised eyebrow.] I'd prefer it if everyone would just... accept it and move on with their own lives. But that's never going to happen. I've been wracking my brain over how we could come out into the open without backlash, but...

[She rests her head against Gai's shoulder.] It would be romantic. An actual date, with dancing. I could wear a silk dress with chiffon and beads... [And not feel so dirty and poor for a night.]
