Some dialogue that should have gone into the S2 Second Citadel finale but didn’t because I wrote it right now and I’m not Kevin Vibert (spoiler-y scalie romance stuff ahead).
(Sir Damien kisses Lord Arum)
Arum: (stops purring) What. . . what are you doing? Why are you putting your mouth on my neck?
Damien: Well, it’s a kiss? I just thought it might be appropriate for. . . A kiss is sometimes a good way to. . . to show commitment; it’s a usual practice for couples--well, for human couples--if we are indeed a couple--I shouldn’t presume anything--
Amaryllis: (stifling a giggle) The three of us are a bit more than a couple, Damien.
Damien: Oh! Well, yes, I suppose that’s true enough. Lord Arum, do you. . . did you like it? I . . . enjoyed it very much. To be so close to you. Your scales are so smooth and hard, but I can feel your warm blood rushing like a river beneath them, a river of fire that could overwhelm my ability to touch you, oh, Lord Arum. But I don’t have to of course. It’s your neck, you know. (laughs nervously) Oh my. . . love, my love. . .
Arum: (takatakatakatak) This is an . . . interesting human custom. I am not sure how I feel about it.
Rilla: Well, you know what I do when I don’t understand something, right, Arum? A scientific approach--
Arum: Amaryllis, this is clearly a matter of magic, far outside the domain of science. There is no reason to use your ridiculous experimental methodology.
(pause)
Arum: Still, honeysuckle, perhaps it would make sense to try that again.
Damien: Are you sure? Well, uh. . . (He kisses Arum again. Arum hesitates a moment, then begins to purr.)
Damien: (sighs) Lord Arum. . .
Rilla: Ha! I told you, Arum! Science, and magic. . .and more. (pause) May I kiss you too, Arum?
