[He's starting to suspect it, which means she's really going to like the show he has in store for her later.
And, okay, maybe this whole charade wasn't just for her sake. He was psyching himself up for the next part because, hey, maybe this'll be the time he finally pulls it off. He steadies himself with an even inhale and lets his tentacle slowly sink in deeper through his throat. Six inches, seven, eight, nine, ten--
He doesn't exactly gag. In fact, it's worse: he chokes, even though he's not needing air right now. The siphon on his throat opens and painfully distends, and me makes a noise that is probably what a fish would sound like while desperately gasping for air--a haggard wheeze through his siphon, which probably makes the pain even worse if the tears at the edges of his eyes are any indication. Boxer has to bring up a hand and forcefully pull the tentacle out of his mouth, using the other to cover his open siphon to block the air intake. He mouths the words "stop it, stop it, stop it" but sound doesn't come out, a mildly panicked look on his face.
If she thought she derailed the mood earlier--she's gonna have a hard time topping this.]
