Is Kaworu's initial reply. Blunt, honest, without any attempt at delicacy. It's not usual for him at least. But it doesn't feel right this time. It feels harsh on his tongue. And like it leaves chalky residue in the air. He shifts, squeezing Paul's hand, stretching his legs out so he can hook a foot under Paul's knee.
"I'm always alright with you." He means it. Paul doesn't always have to be steady or smart or brave for Kaworu to be alright with him. He just has to be. The warm puffs of air on his neck after each inhale are ticklish yet soothing. He remembers the spice and losing track of his body, like they were one being. It was nice.
He tilts his head back as though he could look up at Paul if he twisted far enough. A playful look on his unseen face. "Still... I can't believe you won so quickly."
