[ Mako smiles at that, holding him tight. ]

Perhaps the gods of the kaiju are afraid that our son will bring their ultimate destruction.

[ Even if Mako fully intends to rain hell of them herself, with their armies and their ships and their weapons and the fire of vengeance. She feels him press his forehead against hers, and she shifts to press a kiss, tender and warm, on his lips. Raleigh must have a son, an heir to the throne, even if it's not by her blood, even if it hurts her heart to know that her king, her man has to be in another woman's bed, to impregnate her with the royal lineage Mako cannot carry.

She is the fiercest warrior in Raleigh's kingdom, the smartest, but the honour of being his wife and queen will always be denied her. She understands this, but she offers a wife's counsel anyway, gently guiding. ]


For your people, Raleigh. I am your sword and your shield; I am your lion, but not your queen.

Nor do I want one. [ Mako muses, nuzzling against him and responding to his kiss, savouring every moment of the way his mouth feels against hers, the thorough exploration of their affection. She has to be rational to complement him, doesn't she?

It's a part of why he loves her, because Mako says what is needed, not what is desired. She doesn't have the gift of sweet words, but then again, Raleigh's never needed those. She runs her fingers through his hair when she looks up at him. ]


The crown is too heavy -- and everyone tells to kill you to get to it.

That should be my line, Raleigh.

[ Mako says softly, before she presses soft kisses against his collarbone. ] I'm the one who's supposed to defend you.

[ He's not allowed to take any of the other knights as mistress and lover, if that's what he's asking. Mako knows his loyalty to them, and she just runs her fingers through his hair, taking the time to admire his features, the way he looks at her. ]

You're the king, you're definitely not allowed to throw your life away recklessly.

[ Mako makes a soft noise of dissent, disagreeing -- whoever heard of a king who would throw his life away for his knight? She doesn't want to think about him dying, or jumping into harm's way just for her -- the thought of it makes her heart clench, makes her reject it the moment it comes to mind, like a terrible, terrible thing. ]

No. [ She pushes lightly at him, displeased. ] If you love me, you don't risk your life for anything, including me.

[ Mako looks starkly unhappy, because his life is worth more than hers, because so many people are depending on him. ]

Your life is worth countless thousands, how could you just give it up for anyone?

[ BUT RALEIGH ]

If you gave up yours for mine, you might as well give me a death sentence too. [ She presses her head against his. ] I'm not going anywhere without you.
