[That only happens maybe an hour and a half later, when there's a knock on Nico's door: one of the Zashiki-Warashi, bringing food and a gentle reminder that he'll have to roll out three hours after that.
Squirming a bit, then sighing before kissing you on the cheek and pushing himself up. There's food for the both of you.
[ He's going to get up too, if you're leaving then he's got to get ready to go as well. Scrolling through his phone for a booking back to Falner after your port.
He's nuzzling at your neck briefly before he finds something, grabbing some of the food on the tray. ]
I'm telling the Hounds and Mamita when I get back. S'that okay?
[ If he's silent and blinking, it's because this has never come up before, nor does it really matter... His family loves you, and has been supportive since they learned of it. ]
Speaking if Xi Wang... What kind of cigarettes does she like? Or her favorite drink?
[ Kaz owes her a lot by his own estimation. Plus he'd like to think they are friends, if not two people with the common goal of seeing Nico fulfill his dreams. ]
[It doesn't take him all that long: he just checks his bag one last time after suiting up, and then sweeps the room to see if he's forgetting anything important.
Once he's done, he's rounding back to you with a smile. It's that kind of smile that he puts on when he's trying to show that he's all right when a part of him isn't.]
[ It's at that point that Kaz has his stuff ready, he's wearing your hoodie, though, seeing as he's technically benched. Complete and utter civilian, and his flight is three hours after your port.
There's only a second's hesitation before he's in your space, breathing you in. This isn't as hard as the first time you had to separate. If anything, it's easier for him to let you go now than it had been back then. It doesn't mean that the kiss he plants on you isn't any less passionate, promising to stay safe and hoping that you'll come home to him soon. ]

[Blinking a moment, though.]
You don't think your grandmother will mind... right?
[She's kind of scary.]

[ It will be, trust him. ]
She's never not liked you, anyway.

[Blinking right back.]
Just, your family's approval means a lot to me.

Y-yeah... Same here.

[And it's been a while for him. It'd be nice to come home with you in tow.]

Kissing you on the forehead. He can't help it.]
Great. Guess, uh, I should text them...
[Getting that phone now.]
no subject
Lemme know when you want to go, so I can take time off... Um... Seeing as I'm asking for your hand in marriage, it should be soon right?

[Even if Tian is pretty damned busy. Xi Wang is a fair woman.]

[He finds it nice how you're even asking.]

I'll have to find a nice mix just for her, then. I'd take you back to Tian myself, you know... But there's stuff waiting for us Hounds too.
no subject
[He smiles, and leans in to kiss Kaz on the forehead.]
Things are different now, but that doesn't change what matters, eh? I'll still find time to see you when I can.
[And you'll do the same, as you have now.]
no subject
[ Tactile puppy that he is, he does love waking up to you. ]
But yeah, there's time now. Lots of it.
[ He glances at the clock, thinking 'It'd be great if you could stay another hour.' but it's almost time. ]

When he breaks away, his voice is husky.]
I should go and get ready properly.
no subject
Mmh, okay.
[ It really shouldn't shock you that your kisses short his brain out. ]

I guess I'm good to go.

Honestly. What he'd give for a little more stability, and more time just staying by your side.]
no subject
There, now you look less like you got mauled by a Card and more like an Oni-Tsukai.
[ There's undeniable pride in his voice when he says that last. ]
no subject
I guess that's a good thing.
[Granted, he's not ashamed in the slightest to be so desperately and perfectly in love with you.]
Okay... let's go.
