(Scorn/S9) "Trying, yes.  I'll agree.  And these things take time, I'll agree there, too.  But what I'm getting at is, if apologies were worth anything, we wouldn't need courthouses."

Thomas reaches over to a nearby side table and pours himself another gin. Then, setting the bottle down, he picks up the tonic and adds it as he speaks.

"And I wasn't sure if you knew this, Imperia, but Marcus had the b---"

Thomas hesitates, then starts again. "...Had Armata at the end of his sword. He was going to run him through, do him in for good.  I was the one who convinced him to hold.  I was the one who gave him back a vial of blood so he would survive."

Thomas finishes stirring his drink and takes a sip. "What I don't like here is your implication that Armata was somehow holding himself back from killing my wife, among others. In particular, I don't appreciate that you're defending hiiMMMMMMMMFFFF---"

Thomas' words trail off in a muffled shout of protest. Tirush, leaping over an adjacent couch, sweeps him up and cuddles him emphatically, only his feet sticking out from the bottom of the black velvet cocoon of her wings.

"You say 'wife,' you call my name, beloved!" Tirush wiggles him back and forth. "'My wife, my wife, my wife!' No sweeter words there are to my ears!  My body is yours, my Fire is yours, you only need to say the two words, 'my wife!'"

Thomas gasps as she lets his head poke through. She pulls him in and rubs her face against his, her eyes shut, her cheeks flush.

"Mmmmm. So sweet, the scent of my Danthe.  My husband.  As sweet as summer sun!  And my beautiful wife, the spring moon!"

She extends a wing and pulls in Regina, who gives a squeak of shock as she's helplessly dragged in. Thomas and Regina are both now firmly in Tirush's embrace.

"So serious! Why such a face?  We are to be happy tonight, yes!  Happy, that we may hold our treasures close!" She begins showering their bewildered and increasingly smiling faces in kisses.
