He had expected her to say something more than what she did. He expected her to ask him if he still cared for Savayna, but nope. She simply said that she was glad that he was glad. Jaakuna was truly lucky to have this woman in his life. The fact that she has accepted the fact that Savayna was his dear friend and that her happiness meant a lot to him made him feel so much better than he had been feeling. When Emiri would lay her head on his shoulder, he smiled. He hold her close. His arms wrapped around her as the two of them just stayed in the position they were in. Nothing too sexual about any of this. It was a sensual moment and it would last for as long as they were alone.

When Grant had responded, she was totally surprised by what he did next. He would take both of his arms, cup her face with both hands, stare into her eyes. That moment caught her off-guard and she found herself blushing, but she did not want him to stop. Then, in the next moment, her heart melted. He would bring his lips into hers and he kissed her. Her first response was a sound of surprise that would sound like ‘hmm!’, and then she gave in. Her tough exterior or whatever people wanted to call it melted away. It was his fire that melted her cold ice. She would return his kiss and her hands would wrap around his head, fingers locking between his silky-smooth black hair. She didn’t know what on Ivalice was going to happen to either of them today, but she wasn’t concerned about that at the moment. She would let him take the lead in this as she wanted nothing more to be with him.

In the throne room, Wesley was just starting to get out of his unconscious state and as he awoke, he saw Nadeline hovering over him, but that wasn’t all. In a very uncomfortable way, he also saw Karolina and Lorenzo also hovering over him. His eyes fully opened and instantly Wesley let out a very nervous half-yell, half-laugh.
