"And what is a dashing rogue like yourself doing here?"

"I've merely come to enjoy the festivities, spot of luscious wine and of course most of all... to see you my beloved."

"... I'm flattered you've come all this way Hikaru, but you risk exposing yourself. What will you do if-"

"Hush, my darling." He presses a finger to her lips. "I'm merely a patron, here to revel in the royal banquette. I will not allow myself to be discovered so easily, have faith in me."

"I do, I always do."

"Tonight, we can enjoy our time without worry. We can be free, even in the light of the ones who oppose us."

"If only things between us were not done in such a round-about way."

"Fret not my dear, for I always keep my promises."

"'We'll be together forever', is what you meant?"

"Exactly princess."
