Their relationship was built on a foundation of not saying things aloud, of letting them remain beneath the surface, unspoken but not uncommunicated. Ignis in particular was adept at that, giving Liliana room to speak as she wished, but not forcing her to say what she did not.

Liliana, however, was a hypocrite. And sometimes, like after their trip to Shandalar, and like now, with the 'this' on his tongue because he would not (could not?) say what he truly meant, she took it upon herself to pull it all up to the surface.

She laughed then, any inexplicable weight given to those words dissipated with the sound, completely enough to make one doubt there ever had been any at all. "Besides...how could I say no to learning such a..." Her voice dipped, rich and dark like chocolate. "practical skill such as this?"

Oh yeah. She knew what did it for you, baby.
