Well, snitch isn't the right word, that's more the childlings, but if he doesn't amke the OCCASIONAL play for her food illicitly she might be offended.

And when she catches him in the pseudo-illicit act and gives him a good-natured swat, she delivers Vali's message. "He gets it now. He said you'd understand."

"oh.. well that's nice then" A bit too casual about it

"Uh-uh." She gives him a solid poke in the ribs. "What, exactly, does he understand?"

"Well, we do spar.. he noticed I was having troulble pulling my blows.. I explained there was some tension I wasn't fully allowed to work out and it might have been affecting things. He asked what I had to be tense about and I simply told him one day he might get why"

She gives him a suspicious look. "Why does that make me feel like that's not exactly complimentary to me?"

"I might have given him a black eye 'by accident' with the butt of a pole arm. Woops'

The feminist looks at his shoes, "Forgive me. I slipped into a certain patriarchal savagery regarding matehood'

She looks like she wants to scold him...but also wants to laugh. It's a complicated, amusing expression. "You...are a very bad man. And I love you."

"Bad or Good, baby I'm yours." And he kisses her.

"Mm...lucky me." She smiles, and kisses him back. Then she draws back and hands him the bit of bread and butter he was trying to snitch.

"You're the best" He tells her "But you already knew that"

"or SHOULD have" A look, then a wiink and he takes his gift snitch food

A smug little shrug. "I'm in excellent company, then. Now...go away. I have dinner to fix."

And he shoos.
