"You mean that the first time anyone in Cephiro has sex, no matter what, they automatically would be husband and wife, or something like that?"
"Yes, that is the custom."
"Even if it is a drunken trist?"
"Even that would count, but what does that have to do with anything?"
"Nothing really. I was just wondering."
The mage look at her quizically. "Have you done something I am not aware of?"
"Maybe..." Umi teased.
"Umi, I'm being serious." Clef said in a warning tone.
"What would it matter to you if I had?" She spat indignantly at him. "It's not like you actually care or anything!"
"Here I am trying to tell you that I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and all you can do is start an argument."
The water knight's mouth hung agape as realization sunk slowly into her brain. Her heart pounded in her chest. Her face was on fire, but she scouldn't move.

Before her numbed brain realized what her mouth was doing the word slipped out.
"Bastard."
"Yeah, I love you, too."
