And I happen to be quite good at reminding people to take a break when they need it.
[Levity chuckles softly - though it's mostly a joke, there's still room for genuinely being worried about Serenity overcommitting to the work.
The question, meanwhile, is not unexpected, if still a little sad. But fortunately he does have an answer to it. Levity smiles again, cupping her cheek gently.]
Of course. Why wouldn't I? I want to see you happy, Renny. I want you to shine as brightly as I know you can.
I... well-- of course I hoped, but... I didn't want to assume. That... you don't have something going on back home. Or that it wouldn't make things difficult for you. But... if I go with you, I... I'd want it to be with you. As... well... a partner. Or um... something... like that...
[Watch her just blush and stutter all over herself trying to say what she wants to say.]
[... oh. He blushes himself, but fortunately Serenity is so adorable tripping over her own words (and flustered enough for the both of them) that he doesn't have it in him to be too embarrassed. Instead, Levity smiles, taking her hand to press a kiss to her fingers, eyes flickering back to her mischievously.]
Hmmm? It is, in fact, quite common for bonded to work together.
["Bonded" is the key word here, and he's curious to see if she'll pick up on it. He's a gremlin, why do you like him]

[Surely not because she has required it, nope...]

Re: day 426, after she gets back from graduation
Bonded. She has no way to be sure it means what she thinks it does. Doesn't stop her from thinking it. Or her heart beating wildly.]
Bonded...? Us? I... don't know the specifics but I like the sound of it. I think I'd like that-- a lot.
[If she wasn't allowed to like gremlins she could not love either him or Lily and that is not a world she wants to live in okay]
