[ he hears the unfamiliar waver in their voice; it brings him down to earth quite quickly before his heady feelings can fly off with him further. It's only unfamiliar because it's coming from Cairngorm; he knows very well what he's hearing. Instantly, he worries he's caused them some discomfort with his affections -- not out of the question, considering they're not even used to breathing, let alone, well... this. ]
It belongs to you, [ finishes Lupin for them, quietly and seriously. His curiosity about why they're bringing that up and why they're holding their hand above it are stalled for good reason: he thinks they might be crying. He's reluctant to pull away, but he doesn't hesitate to do so, either, only enough so that he can look at their face properly. ] -- Sorry. Was that too much?
[ his expression is apologetic and a little concerned, his hand finding its usual place on their cheek while his eyes search theirs. He can still feel the alien warmth of their skin fading on his lips along with the faint taste of apple cider, and the way they said his name makes him want to stay here in this bed with them forever. But he doesn't want to see them crying because of him even more than that.
Happy tears - he hadn't even considered that a possibility. ]
