Meesei's affection was returned in full. Lunise pulled her close, passionately joining their lips together as if trying to fuse them into one body. She was just as lost to time as Meesei was. On and on their passion went until the outside of the tent was all but forgotten.

Inevitably, Lunise and Meesei's embrace intensified until the first cord on Lunise's dress being undone. In a monumental feat of self-control, Lunise pulled back from the kiss and gently pushed Meesei back by the shoulder. "Ah-ah," Lunise warned in a whisper, catching her breath. "I may be in love with you, Meesei, but I plan on waking up in a bed in Valenwood tomorrow morning."

In the pause that followed, Lunise made a strange noise. Two stifled vocalisations on her outward breath. It took a moment for Meesei to recognise it as laughter. Lunise grinned and closed her eyes, quietly laughing more until she was out of breath. Her head lolled to one side. Even with glistening lines drawing back from her eyes, Lunise was the happiest Meesei had ever seen her.
