"I do." Meesei answered, her tone just as soft, but resolute as when she had spoke those words a few moments prior. She now had her arms around her neck, giving her perhaps the most intense, loving gaze that Lunise had seen from her yet. 

Meesei was well-aware that her statement may have been unexpected, but she was not intent on going back on it. "It has been quite a long time since I have felt this way towards someone, but I still recognize it. The last time I felt this kind of love, I let it slip away out of fear and uncertainty, and I do not want that to happen again. I am not someone who believes that every person has a singular 'soul mate.' There are likely many people in the world who would be the 'right match' for both of us, but regardless of how many there are or who they might be, I [i]know[/i] we are the right match for one another. We are two women who live our lives in command of others. We wield authority, and demand respect and loyalty. One might think that we would clash with one another, but I think it only helps to keep us together. I do not always [i]want[/i] to be in charge. I could not be a mate to someone who is submissive and subservient to me. We challenge each other; we do not merely bow to each other's whims or demands. I know it may seem strange, but the fact that you do not have to listen to me is...oddly attractive. Not only because of any sort of 'official' authority, but because you are a willful and strong woman in your own right, and you do not take my judgment as law. That strength of character is one of the many reasons that I love you, and why I am overjoyed that our relationship had a real chance of working out in the long run."
