"Mm. I shouldn't," it's what he says, but he's tilting his head pliant as can be for that kiss against his neck, "There's still the matter of getting our friends home and there are... loose ends I need to see to, besides." Not the least of which being yelling at both G'raha and Urianger for about a week each.

But he also very blatantly doesn't say that he isn't staying and even though it's a bit shaky in a voice worn out from crying, there's clearly a teasing note to the words-- he's not bothering with being subtle about how much he wants to be convinced to stay.
