Victor finished saying goodbye in the simplest way possible.
First, he pulled Scarlet by the waist and kissed her mouth for a long moment, ignoring the way her ears perked up at the same instant. When he pulled away, she still kept hold of the front of his shirt as if she were seriously considering the possibility of stopping that trip purely out of stubbornness.
"Don't take too long." Scarlet murmured as she adjusted her posture and tried to pretend the kiss had not affected her as much as it actually had.
Victor only smiled before turning toward Carmilla.
She was already waiting.
Carmilla lifted her face when Victor approached and accepted the kiss without any resistance, placing one hand on his chest as she enjoyed those few seconds. When he pulled away, she still slowly ran her thumb over the corner of his mouth.
"Come back in one piece." Carmilla asked while keeping her red eyes fixed on his.
"I'll try." Victor replied as he lightly touched her waist before stepping away.
