We have forever together, darling. [He smiles back and tugs Dorian closer to himself for a kiss.] Not going anywhere now that I've got you again. I'm yours until the stars burn out and we get that-- oh bloody Hell, what was it called again? The uh... inevitable heat death of the universe?
[It's a terrible and poorly executed dark joke, but he grins as if he'd delivered it perfectly. Nothing can tear down his mood now that his soulmate's back and he can look into those gorgeous, expressive eyes and touch that soft and beautifully sculpted body.]
But let's avoid the nettles. You may heal right away, but I still have to deal with the rash for a while before it'll go away. [It'll ruin ~the mood~ if that happens.] We have plenty of other lovely things to use instead. In the bath, in the shower, and in the freshly washed linens we can put on the bed before we pass out.
[A bed in which they will cuddle for a very long time before Toby's satisfied enough to let Dorian go so he's not shivering all night long. God knows it's going to take hours, and he can't care in the least.]
