1. Different
They're so different from each other, but really it was because of those differences that drew them together.

4. Nickname
She'll never forget how hilarious his face looked the first time she called him, 'Balby'.
5. Lips
He spent the longest time wondering if her lips where as soft as they looked and then one day when she grabbed him by his beard and hauled him down, he found out, yes indeed they where.
6. Question
"What do you see in him?" That is the question everyone always asks her. La Muerte just smiles and replies, "I love him, he loves me. What more is there?"

La Muerte's anger is a force to be reckoned with. Xibalba knows that better than anyone.

13. Feathers
Xibalba's wings may look worn and torn, but they're actually quite soft to touch.

"How about a little wager?"
22. Eyes
The only red on Xibalba is his skull-shaped pupils and the only blue on La Muerte is on her eyelids. So they only have eyes on each other.

38. Fairy Tale
There is no happily ever after for them, but that's okay. They were happy enough.
39. Grapes
Xibalba could only stare at his wife when she pulled back from their kiss and then grinned to show she had stolen the purple fruit right from out of his mouth.
40. Share
La Muerte laughed at the stunned look on her husband's face and after she finished eating the grape, flashed him a playful smile. "What? You didn't want to share?"
41. Soothing
Xibalba running his fingers through her hair was very relaxing to her.
42. Innocence
As far as she concerned, the more innocent Xibalba looked, the more trouble he was going to get into.

She loves the way he says her name. It just sounded so sensual.

It's a four letter word and it's the best feeling Xibalba and La Muerte had ever felt.
