Nikolai resists the urge to quip back with something like ‘what’s not to love?’ or ‘name one person who doesn’t love me’ or something else rather unfeeling and jestful in the face of honest emotions because, well, those are a little difficult for him to process sometimes.
“I know.” Not the best response he could have come up with, but it’s far better than some alternatives. He folds his hands behind his back and smiles stupidly, though he does his best to hide it. “But there are so many types of love, are there not? For example, as a child I loved our old cook because she used to sneak me little, tiny pastries off of my mother’s snack tray. Do you love me like a pastry-sharing cook, Alina? Or is there something more to this love..?”
