To that end he would still answer she was the one shining. Because that was the absolute truth in his eyes. But his bias was also very heavy so perhaps giving a verdict like that was a little unfair. Still to hear her call him her lover so openly. That word filled with such love and warmth. ALlen's heart threatened to burst with joy and if not for what she said next he might have even shed a tear of joy.

"what? You do?" He couldn't believe what she was saying. Hadn't they just talked in length how they would have to bide their time until they could sort things out with him? Now she wanted to confront him tomorrow?!

That being said it was only his initial reaction and once that faded he leaned in close to look Lenalee straight in the eyes while he absently brushed a thumb against his beloved's cheek.

"Are you sure about this?" Regardless the answer he would be staying by her side.
