[lips press to the corner of his eye, and Morax listens quietly as Melqal speaks. He's such a wonderful terror... but there's truth to what he says. And then he practically contradicts himself immediately, and Morax has to laugh.]

Didn't you just say I shouldn't raise the notice of the staff? I would happily stay here otherwise... and more happily explore this body of yours myself.

[His eyes close again as fingers brush through his hair, a soft sigh on his lips.]

I would rather be here, even without that promise... besides, I have no intention of letting you get away with riling me up only to stop abruptly. [leaning in, he presses a kiss to the corner of Melqal's.] How long should I wait before returning to you...? Or... where shall I wait, if I needn't leave?

[regrettably, he'll probably have to hide his tail for the duration either way, but still.]
