Shall I handcuff you to my wrist, then, love?

[greatestgood]

Only if the cuff is soft. I have sensitive skin.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I think I can oblige you that.

[greatestgood]

You seem fond of this solution. I must matter greatly to you.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

You were worried that you did not, Gellert?

[greatestgood]

I'm the sort that questions it far too often.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

You need never question it. You have no equal in your place in my heart.

[greatestgood]

[He is taken aback even if he knows that must be the truth.]

My heart is yours for the taking.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Good. I'll treasure it, then, more than anything else I have.

[greatestgood]

I'm not sure it is that precious. But your heart, on the other hand...

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Perhaps not to you, but it is finer than gold for me. As long as you care for mine, I'll always hold tightly to yours.

[greatestgood]

Only a selfish, monstrous fool would let go of your heart. Since you have given it to me, I will jealously guard it like a dragon.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I like that image, seeing you huddled over it like a treasure horde, keeping me to yourself in a cave.

[greatestgood]

Would I be a golden dragon? [He grins dangerously, teeth flashing.] You can be my ruby filled with flames.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

You might be, golden and shining just as much as your treasures.

And I could be your ruby, red and sparkling against you.

[greatestgood]

Not as much as my greatest treasure. That is why I can't let others see your full glory.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Ah, will you keep all of me hidden away, nestled against you so that no one else can spy me?

[greatestgood]

I will indeed! We will spend our days pressed close, dreaming of magnificent spells.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Well, in that case, how can I resist.

[greatestgood]

I don't see how you could, but I'm not you.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Well, I am me, and I admit you have a tendency to win over my resistances even when they are there.

[greatestgood]

Each resistance is a delightful puzzle. Once I solve them, it's like shattering a wall.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

You enjoy wearing me down, do you?

[greatestgood]

I enjoy seeing you happy and free.
