Or maybe-- [He counters, pausing them to explore her mouth a little more thoroughly. They wouldn't be able to do this if he was king, to sit on the grass and trade kisses like any other couple in the world, because they're in Paris and that's romantic.

[ ...Yes, well. One more notch to put on the pros list, because just imagine the looks on the servants faces if they even dared to do something that outrageously passionate.
Happy to settle under his hands, Mako makes a soft noise of pleasure, eyes lidding with bliss and contentment, her fingers lightly brushing over his hand. She darts in to kiss him, cheeks warming with pleasant reminiscence. ]
And you were exceptionally accommodating. I've never seen you rush to obey like that, my dear Duke.
[He runs his thumb over the back of her hand, This is nice, isn't it, just sitting on the grass together in the sun and talking about nothing really important, no one's staring at them, no one is even looking at them twice but then no one expects a former king and his lady love to be slumming it like them.]

Raleigh does the very royal and dignified version of pouting, reaching for her hand to play with instead.]
You have that too. But I accept favors and treats too.

[ She hums, curling her fingers over his as she smiles. ] What sort?
