( The sudden change in demeanor surprises him, but it just as quickly recedes into the Ginger he's more familiar with. He recalls now the flash fire of Ginger's irritation he'd seen when Solomon tried to touch him - something that had been absent, at least in that form, when Ahito had touched him. He doesn't think he wants Ginger to ever have cause to be upset.

Palm cupping one cheek, he presses a kiss to the other. Ginger is so easy to kiss; so easy to love. And kissing him reminds him of the sweet things Ginger was murmuring while kissing Mika... it warms his face, remembering. )

... If you ever want him gone for real... I'll kill him for you. You can keep your hands clean.

( This offer is specific to the fact that Solomon is a passive danger to Ginger, and his loss would probably be a net gain. Mika would prefer to do the one killing between them, but he'd be less pleased if Ginger wanted to kill someone inoffensive, like, for example, Yamato (even if he is human). )

... Why don't we say that I'm locked up starting now?

( He says it like they're making a game of it, and he sort of is? He's not taking it as seriously as he should be. So long as there's no danger, so long as they're flirting and affirming their love, he can enjoy anything, he thinks.

And, like with intimacy, he trusts Ginger - maybe overmuch. He thinks Ginger would drop it if Mika really didn't like it, or stopped wanting it. So is he really locked up? This is just kind of like their honeymoon hour... extended... at least in Mika's mind. )

Once we're done, then we can start having our daily hours just to us. But, until then... I'm all yours. And you'll be here to be all mine... right?

( He will object if Ginger's fantasy involves locking up and leaving him... breaks out immediately!!! no!!!!!! )
