Re: Destined Union (Jenna)
Griffin rose a brow at her, and audibly growled at her reply, but didn't seem to offer much in the ways of argument. Looking down at her hand, he stared hard enough at it that he would burn a hole in it eventually. Twisting his lips in thought, he raised his hand slowly, and swiftly, placed his palm against her own. "... Your hand is bigger than mine... Should I even call this a hand?" he asked her after a moment of his hand resting against her own. "What do we do now anyway? Do we have to keep holding our hands? In my society, men are instructed to socialize with women from a distance and only get near them when they are deemed safe by the church. It's a bit ironic now that I'm touching a monster, when those methods were created to avoid any contact with monsters, and... Stop grinning at me!" he exclaimed suddenly, Jenna finally seeing him blush. "What an infuriating expression! Even if we're pretending, I hate that look of endearment! You should be looking at me with neutral formality, as one warrior to another! As per my family's tradition, both husband and wife must always look for a moment of weakness in their beloved, and punish them for it! My mother striked my father down for being light on me when I was a child, and I expect you to do the same to me!" he announced.
"... Pretending of course. I'd appreciate it if you didn't actually kill me under the false pretense of my wife. I wouldn't be able to rest if that happened."
