"I love you," Jedao replies, and brushes a kiss against Hakkai's forehead after.
"I'm very glad you told me. And I don't want to scare you again, but I think you're dead wrong about not being a person enough to be my husband, and I'm going to be obnoxious about it, so maybe think about that before you apologize too much."
He's teasing, very lightly; his grip loosens too but he doesn't let go.
"It's okay if the person you are isn't sure about being a husband. If the person you pretend to be with for other people comes to the wedding, and we trick everyone and I steal your name and we fool them all. But my lover is a person, too."
