[Raleigh likes taking her by surprise sometimes. Like kissing her on the cheek when he knows full well that she was expecting one to the lips. They don't talk about what they mean to each other, about how she plans to make him her consort someday, because there's more important things than that right now.
The war is more important. Protecting her people, fighting the kaiju, staying alive. He knows that and he doesn't fight it, he'd wait years to have the honor of marrying her if he had to.
Though hopefully that won't happen, since that means it would take years and cost dozens of lives to defeat the kaiju.]

You said a kiss, my lady, you didn't say where.
