Arms shifting until they're encircling Enver both fondly and protectively, Kael pours what feels like a far broader range of emotion into their shared kiss. Even the small bank of memories he has of their time together is enough for him to contend with the fact that, before the great betrayal, his world was shades of red and not much more.
Having spent long enough away from the cult, from Bhaal and his memories of being bhaalspawn, it had allowed a far greater number of colours into his awareness. Gratitude feels brand new in a way that he doesn't recall before.
So his mouth is soft against Enver's. Pliant in a way it may not have been before, and as careful and considered as he is, the kiss itself is filled with a yawning kind of desperation. He doesn't want to ask to never be apart again, that doesn't feel right either. But he can feel himself growing more as a person with this new development. That all this time he had been - and still is - in love.
When they break for air his eyes are heavily lidded, a reliable kind of comfort gently coaxing him into a place of almost boneless contentedness. Perhaps before it would have been the heat of arousal that rose up to greet them both viciously. For now, he's happy enough just existing in each other's spaces.
"I do not know what the future holds, but I find myself more eager to find out than anytime I can recall."
