They are so close thanks to the strings tying them together, it's a painful ache that Dimitri feels at the notion. He could so easily just bend down a little a d take those thin lips against his, but that's not for him to do. That's for another person, someone else to love him.

"I don't think we can leave this unless we do something the world deems worthy enough. Usually kissing is involved but I refuse." He sounds cold, he knows he does but if he were to kiss this Felix right now he'd never be able to recover. It would be a disservice to the memory of his own and to how much he is struggling but trying to move forward.

"Perhaps someone with magic can set us free instead. Mayhap if we ask it nice enough it might set us free as well..." He must sound ridiculous to Felix who hasn't been in this world long enough, but to Dimitri and what he's seen. These options make sense. The entire time he converses with Felix, he makes sure to avoid eye contact, trying to look anywhere but at the man in front of him.
