Them snapping at each other like dogs makes her laugh again, and this time when she goes in for his chin it's with a kiss instead, shifting herself so that she can brace her weight on her elbows on either side of his ears, her arms crossing on the pillows above his head.
"I am terribly glad I ran into you when I did," she tells him from a bare inch away from his lips, her tangled mass of braids falling down around them in a messy curtain.
"Hey, me too!" He says, tracing his hands over her hips and skimming what he can reach of her thighs. He marvels at how tall she is, a creature of long limbs and lean muscle. Looking a bit wild in her state of disarray. He can feel the cold, tense feeling of those vulnerable moments slowly bleeding out of him.
Pressed as close to him as she is, it's all too easy to feel the way he relaxes beneath her touch, and it makes her wild grin soften a little as she kisses the corner of his mouth. "Aren't we both lucky, then?"
His kisses are certainly proper enough for her, thank you. She smiles as she pulls away, brushing her nose against his sweetly even though she always found the gesture cloyingly twee when she has observed others doing it. It just feels nice. "I certainly hope so."
It would probably feel embarrassing if they were to exchange such a gesture in public but here in the privacy of her bed, he doesn't dissuade her. He sighs and rests his forehead against hers.
"You probably wanna get some sleep, huh? Unless you have other work to do." He doesn't want to steal too much of her time.

"Yeah. I'll be thanking my lucky stars for a long time yet, I think."
