[The first response Nyx's gets is the scolding click of tongue behind teeth, but Regis quickly follows that with a laugh.]

What a cheeky thing you are once you've gotten what you want.

[Like he didn't already know that going into this.]

See if I worry about the state of your knees again.

[The threat is an empty one, betrayed thoroughly by the fondness in Regis' eyes and the gentleness of the fingers that comes to rest against Nyx's cheek.]

It pains me that you have to hold back for my sake, though I cannot thank you enough for doing it.

[Regis' free hand finds the one that is so bravely creeping up his leg and brings it to his lips, so he can press a kiss to it.]

I will make it worth your wait. Come. Lets move this to my quarters so we both can relax and worry not about who might come across us.
