[At the affectionate gesture, he tilts his head to the side just enough to look at her with a single eye. There's a slow blink, one that shows off both his eyelid sets.]

Almost daily...during the summer...

[He might as well be explicit now, right? If exclusive is what she wants.]

Every three days otherwise.

[Boxer sits up, but he slouches forward, his head hung low.]

We're going on a month-long vacation, Nariko...you've been my dedication for a while now. But if you want to sexually exclusive too...it's going to be demanding.

[Which means that he's going to initiate a lot, and there's not a whole lot of wiggle room to say no.]

The way we've been doing it, it's just...I always knew that you'd want it. With exclusivity, you won't always...

[Ugh, this sounds horrible, and he knows it.]

...have a say in the matter, one way or another...
