"Normally I'd agree, but you've known Marlene since you were eleven, you've felt this way about each other for a great many years, acting on those feelings now when you've been given a second chance can hardly be seen as rushing even by the most logical of minds." She smiled. "Not acting, might in fact be viewed as stalling and letting fear of emotions getting the better of your logic," she added a slight smirk on her face.
"Of course security is a concern, it's always a concern, but logically you're not in more danger together than apart. So what other considerations do you have? Perhaps I can help you sort out the logic, because honestly I'm about as comfortable with feelings as you are. I usually go to Marly with those if I have to."
"Don't worry, I won't ask you how you feel, only how you think."
