At first he was somewhat alarmed by the tears before he realized they were happy ones and the laughter came back as Mitchell kissed them away from her cheeks. "I can actually become a proper and productive member of society." His tone was all playful and his grin was huge. "I can be more than just some janitor trying to hide from the world." He did like the idea of school, of getting a proper education that could lead to a more fulfilling job. "Will you help me look at possible school courses? After the holidays and all that. I want to be part of the world, now it's not in danger from me any more."
And the traveling and the having a real life, and the being with her through it all. Mitchell loved the idea of every second of that.
"I am definitely all yours, for all of our lives." One lifetime and he planned on making every moment of it count. "Whenever I was tempted by the blood, I thought of you. You made me strong, love. Strong enough to keep the temptation back. And now I plan on spending every day trying to be the kind of man you deserve."
