[ that borderline-tired chuckle. she had said what she wanted. and he smiles, smirks, grins, whatever it was on his lips at that, just from that fact that she had finally let it known what she wanted. and of course he was fine with it--ultimately what he wanted was for her to follow what she wanted to do.
she provided him with plenty, present or not, and somehow it gives him a jolt of something to hear her say she'd rather be there. it's dangerous, but he understands her thoughts. he always had, but this time he's more than certain. she's a princess, perhaps, but not in the way they had originally thought. for all her looks, takane was capable of more than the stereotypical limitations.
maybe he'd have to run it through kojuro, but he was lord. and he doubts kojuro would deny him, either--he had only the utmost confidence in takane, who had proven herself to be a dragon.
at the same time, there's that feeling of in-between-guilt. something that was different than before. ]
As simple as that. [ he doesn't tell her to be careful, he doesn't tell her that it's dangerous, he doesn't tell her that this was war, and he also doesn't tell her that he'll be okay--
--because he considered her an equal, and those things didn't need to be told to him personally. he knows she knows. ]
Let's say it'd be an honor. [ and maybe, let's say thanks. ]
