[It's a simpler answer than he'd expected, and that's enough to raise both alarm and Trevor's brow. It can't be that easy, can it? Adrian's handing the reins over to Trevor like he's comfortable with however this transpires, and Trevor's not sure why that surprises him, because-- Well, when it comes right down to it, that's been a bulk of their relationship; Trevor setting the pace, and Adrian falling into step beside him, unflinching. As if Adrian's expecting -- and embracing -- every step before Trevor even takes it.

Nothing's ever come easy for Trevor. Nothing this simple has ever been this beautiful.

Momentarily lost for words, Trevor brings Adrian's hand to his lips instead, and presses a lingering kiss to the dhampir's knuckles. He's not sure why it's so sobering to realize that things can pass so easily between them. Maybe it's unknowable, and maybe for once in his damn life, Trevor doesn't have to destroy everything important to find the answer. Maybe it can just... be. Without Trevor complicating everything.]

Free reign? I think you're going to regret that. [Trevor smirks.] I feel like they taught me Viennese waltzes just to prepare me for you.
