Araceli's vast capacity to forgive isn't something that Korrin understands or is likely to, but from that small smile on her lips as Araceli speaks, she's glad that such events haven't poisoned the woman's sweet nature. Perhaps that's another reason Korrin's drawn to her, needing someone to smooth those rough edges of hers. At least a little bit; some part of her is always going to be the takes-no-bullshit mercenary from the Free Marches.

Those fingers at her horns produce a pleased noise from her though she takes her time with the kiss despite any potential audience. Korrin's been aching for this moment for too long and she's going to savor it. As far as she's concerned, anyone else doesn't exist right now. Air is necessary, though, something she reluctantly acknowledges though still keeps those lips close afterward. "Challenge enthusiastically accepted, milady. I won't rest until you agree I've succeeded. Which isn't to say that we have to leave the warmth of this fire any time soon. I love being with you anywhere."

She's still hoping for a dance or few, after all, and has more than enough energy for that and anything else Araceli might have in mind. It's certainly not just about teasing and what comes of it, though admittedly such thoughts are more present than ever. "As for what you presented, it is what it is. Everyone has parts of themselves that they don't want to reveal right away for whatever reason. That I know now is enough. And I hope that's true for whoever else you tell."
