"Damn Azul, getting all hot and bothered in front of us like that. Have you no shame?"
"Indeed, Floyd. I wonder if perhaps Azul regrets that we were not here sooner in order to further add to his perverse interest watching someone commit incredible acts of violence on his behalf here..."
[Now that causes Azul's face to burn as he flusters a little, before giving them both a sour look.]
It's not like that and you know it. Now lead us to the car already so that we can go instead of lingering here any longer.
[And away they go back to the school. Azul does however seem to become more serious again though, insisting that Evangeline is checked out properly by the medical team in the nurse's station first before anything else. Once both of them have been bandaged up and given the all clear that they are allowed to return to Octavinelle, Azul opens the door to his room to allow her entry.
Azul, rather than immediately latch on to her like it seemed he had been going to do earlier when he talked about "thanking her properly", instead simply holds her hand here, watching her carefully for any signs of exhaustion or the like for now.]
How are you feeling? Do you want to lie down and rest now that we're finally back?
[Evangeline submits to the checkup, mostly just to reassure Azul - it's no big deal, it's just a couple of bruises, but she doesn't want him to worry.]
[Azul looks a little stunned briefly at that remark, before he looks down at her hand in his.]
You never fail to surprise me, you know that? I mean, perhaps I shouldn't be so surprised, because I would likely have done the same if you had been the one shoved into that wretched cage by comparison. But still... you didn't hesitate at all to do whatever it took to get me out of there... I can't help but feel a little touched by that.
[Sure, Floyd and Jade obviously also would have done the same, but... this is different somehow. When they do it, Azul tends to get a little exasperated sometimes if it feels like they're getting carried away or that they treat it as simply a convenient excuse to intimidate or fight someone rather than because they wanted to save Azul. Evangeline though... there was no hint of that kind of tone to her actions.]
[Evangeline doesn't take enjoyment in violence for its own sake. A friendly spar, sure, that can be fun. But she has no desire to truly hurt people who haven't done something to earn it.
[Azul lifts her hand now to his lips so that he can place a kiss on the back of it, almost gentlemanly before he proceeds to turn her hand over and place more kisses to the palm of her hand, with a little more intent than just a brush of lips before he pulls back to speak.]
Still, you deserve my thanks... tell me, what would you like me to do to show my gratitude, hm?

I'm fine? I've had way worse.
[She gives his hand a gentle squeeze.]
I could do it again right now if I had to.

That guy earned it in spades.]
I'd do anything I had to to keep you safe.

[Her smile turns a bit sheepish. This is kind of embarrassing to ask for, actually.]
Well, you could tell me how cool and attractive I was? And any other compliments you'd like to give.
