Mary couldn't help but smile at the offer. She could stifle the chuckle, but her lips still curled to show her amusement. "I'm sure most folk aren't so thick not to notice. Perhaps not Sparks, but some others must realize for sure. Do what you have to do, just make sure you feel satisfied when it's over. I don't want you making sacrifices of your own happiness for my sake."

Something to ask her? Curious. Something to look forward to once this storm has passed then. "That's a lot of promises you're making me. I'm going to hold you to them." She gave Saori's hands one more squeeze before sitting back. As her lover had said, this wasn't the time. But she could look forward to when it would be again.
