"Well it did," he admitted, amusement fading. "And I expect it will startle me several times more. But I don't want to be afraid of you, Newton. And I'm sure you don't want to be worried about that all of the time. Not to mention you may want to swim or submerge as a kaiju and we're not going to be living on the ocean for that to be easy."

Hermann hesitated, fussing a bit with his sleeves.

"Now I'm not saying it's going to be an overnight adjustment, but we probably should try to reach some level of comfort with it eventually- preferably before our wedding."

"Well, I don't know if this helps or scares you more, but you would be able to touch me, if you wanted or needed to. My blood is still an issue, that hasn't changed, but anything else--skin, saliva, waste, anything else is safe. So I'm basically a big alien dog? Sort of. I'm still your boyfriend, let's be clear: I'm not your pet, but you get what I'm saying. I look scary, but I'm me."

Newt crossed the room to kneel down in front of him and reached for Hermann's hands, trying to draw them away from the nervous gesture.

"I don't expect it to be easy, but, uh... It's me. It's me in there and if you want a signal, a Drift thought to reassure you? Just name it. If it helps to have a safe word or whatever, it's yours. Okay? We're totally not gonna be defeated by this."

His fingers curled into Newton's hands and he sighed, nodding.

"Of course not. Logically I understand it's you, but the world has been afraid of the Kaiju for a very long time, Newton. It's going to take some time until I'm truly comfortable around you in that form. And naturally, that's going to require exposure."

He rubbed his thumb over the back of Newton's hand and the smooth, very human skin of them. "Should likely try for simple proximity first, and then touch. The amplified Drift will help with it I'm sure."
