Galo is so sweet that Lio has no idea how to deal with it. He believes that his people care about him, like he cares for them, but being the dragon lord has meant holding himself separate, apart. There's none of that with Galo, there's only this new and burning thing between them.

So Lio blushes. Like some dragonling with a first crush. It's a giddy, sweet feeling. And he likes it. And he likes the way Galo smiles when he beams like that.

It's Lio's turn to lean in closer and press a kiss to Galo's cheek. "You're kind, and you care about helping people. You've already got the main parts down pat."
