Phichit definitely notices that Emil doesn't answer, but the playful mood dissipates along with Emil's answer, and he needs to fix that immediately. He pulls his hands out of his lover's to wrap them around his waist firmly, and lays his head on Emil's collar.

"I was joking. I promise, I'll be on my best behavior when we decide to go talk to them. I'll be everything I'm usually not: quiet, polite, disciplined, responsible..."

He giggles and kisses Emil's shirt over his heart. "I know how important having their blessing is for you, I won't mess things up."
