Percival gives his mate an adoring look when Essek affirms again that he wants to fall pregnant. He worries in passing that Essek will find himself regretting this decision when he's less overcome by hormones. He hopes not - he wants this very much now that Essek has put the idea in his mind.
He reaches to cover Essek's hand as it trails down his chest, gently pinning it in place over his sternum.
"I'm glad you decided to," he admits. He lifts Essek's hand to his lips to kiss his knuckles. "I'd abide by whatever you wanted, you know. If you felt this is too much and would rather not go through it again."
Whether that meant riding out his heat alone or going back on suppressants, Percival never wants Essek to feel like he is trapped in something. Their marriage might have been arranged, but they've come to care for each other. They love each other. And he never wants Essek to be forced into anything again.
