[It's a nice idea, keeping their love pressed close between them in the hopes of protecting each other from harm. But even he can recognize that it's unrealistic, and that Ed's safety can never be fully guaranteed. That they associate with each other already makes them enough of a target and it's no secret that they're powerful together. He imagines it would come as little surprise for most to learn that their bond extends beyond a mere partnership.]

Will I engage in PDA on the job? [His face twists in thought.] Depends. ...But I will not hide my heart.

[He sees an opportunity and takes it, clasping Ed's hand with a self-assured, determined smile.]

Our enemies will do everything in their power to turn us against each other, and they will learn very quickly that those who dare to cross us will face my full and unbridled wrath. If one so much as harms a hair on your head, theirs will go rolling - I promise you that. And I would be just thrilled to have it packed in a box tied with a neat little bow and delivered to their loved ones.
