His answering smile is all teeth, bright and easy and fond, telling everything even before Aleksei can hedge his way to some kind of straightforward request. He sways back in towards her, hand coming up to pinch her hip.
"Ohh, so generous, husband mine." She answers his pinch with another pinch, this to his arm. "So good a deal, I'd be a fool not to take it."
Faces close together, she can smell his breath, and somehow it isn't foul. "Luckily," she runs her free hand down his back, rocking him closer, "you can't run off and steal what I'm moving."
"Oh, that only happened once," Aleksei protests. "And it was all returned, when we realized."
A wave of his free hand, dismissive. A minor mishap, and more or less corrected at that. Aleksei can count on his thumbs how often he and Yevdokiya have returned stolen goods.
When he kisses her cheek, there's a light graze of teeth. Just so.
"And it cannot be said we didn't make it up to you."
"So kind." But she leans into the kiss, just slightly. Finally, she stops abusing his shoulder, so her fingers can trace invisible lines into the column of his neck. "It's a deal, Alyosha."
