The little pool of lava glows, radiating its warmth out, and casting a faint orange shimmer dancing over Takan's armour.
He looks at it for a little moment, and can't hide an amused snort.
He's gotta give it to Flame Legion - this little lava pool does the same job as a campfire would, but without the hassle of firewood and needing to stoke the fire.

A nudge on his side, and a tap on his head.
"Hey, you here?"
Takan turns his head to Chiara, who is still snuggled up to him, and responds-
"Hah. Yeah, course I am. Just enjoying the moment. Kinda rarely get time to sit down and... relax, like this."
She snickers.
"...then let me make it more enjoyable. Gimme a kiss-!"
She leans in closer.
Takan almost fell for it.
He can sense the way she is leaning over. One of her hands /definitely/ getting ready to snatch that sandwich Takan is still holding with his right hand.
He lifts his arm with the sandwich away to the side a little bit, and chuckles.
Chiara flounders, almost falling into his lap as the sandwich leaves the range of her arm.
She gives up reaching for it, and instead wraps her arm around Takan's neck, kissing him on the cheek, letting out a little laugh.
Definitely the sort of laugh of someone who got caught.
But she still claims-
"Heeeeyyy! I really just wanted a kiss~"
Takan laughs louder, and pulls Chiara closer into the embrace.
"Mhmmmmm, sure..."
He grins a wide, toothy grin. And then holds the sandwich to her, finally sharing.
She doesn't hesitate for even a second and eagerly takes a huge bite out of it, mumbling something inaudible that was probably a thanks.

Takan just smiles in response.
Joking and teasing aside-
He'd share anything with her.
He'd give anything for her.

After all, while the lava pit she made warms his body - her love, warms his soul.

Absolutely adorable piece by  The-Kamki !
I am super glad I could have them encapsulate this little scene of Takan and Chiara. They hit the character of the two perfectly, and I am incredibly happy with it <3
Takan, the Iron Legion/Sentinel lad in grey/blue armour, is mine.
Chiara, the Flame Legion lass in red and gold, belongs to a dear friend.
