He turns her face towards him and kisses her softly. Pointedly. After which he stares into her eyes and says solemnly, "If I could give you a child, I would. But as I cannot, I can only offer a promise that I will love you for as long as we are together. It may be impossible for me to completely separate who you are from who you once were but I have enjoyed coming to know you, Irhya."

Stroking her cheek, he gives her another kiss - on the side of her mouth this time.
