The Family Hug
With the program having finally ended, Xenia now had the chance to finally meet her family after so long. Turning to Darius, she asked him for permission to leave, and he simply nodded at her before leaning in to kiss her.
"Spend some time with your family, my love," he told her, his breath mixing with her own as they shared one more kiss before parting. "I'll always be one telepathic message away. In the meantime, I'll oversee the next part of your victory celebration."
"My coronation then," she giggled. "You don't have to make it too extravagant, you know. I can just wear the crown and sit beside your throne and I'll be fine with that."
"Well, I won't," he scoffed. "Anything less than what you deserve would be an insult to you, your efforts, and your family. Just go, Xen. Let me handle things on my end."
