Of course he heard her wish, silly goldfish should be careful with what she wishes for in the presence of the director of the Department of Wishes. When she called him a little lion, he gave her a small dark look. No one has called him little lion to his face in a long time. Though his dark look was nothing more than a natural reaction, even she could tell that he didn’t mean it in a negative fashion. 

His gaze turned down to her as she pulled away. Her terms made him smirk. A devilish look across his face as he took her hand and pulled her to him; leaning down he whispered in her, “My little goldfish, I do not need to use my powers to make you weak-kneed. No one else will ever receive my love. The question is, are you ready to handle the love of a god?” 

At that he dripped her gently down and pressed his lips against hers. The vibrant intensity of the kiss sent a shiver through his spine and he gripped onto her as if never wanting to let her go. He slowly pulled away from her, a rare soft expression came across his stern face as he gazed lovingly down at her. “And now I shall grant your wish.” At that he leaned down, placing another kiss upon her lips. This one was softer, and much more gentle compared to his last passion filled kiss but there was emotion behind it none-the-less. 

Breaking the kiss he pulled her upright and turned towards the exit. “You will continue to help the others but before you leave you will find me to say good bye.” He said in a matter of fact tone as he laced his fingers in with hers and began to walk towards the hallway leading back to the mansion, “Staying is always an option.”
