[The note eating had been part way joke and part way act of defiance. Concord would have said he takes orders from none other than the King, but now he's here and willing to do just about anything Ali wished him to. What a change... but a refreshing one.
Ali wraps up his hand and Concord feels the added warmth spread. Dragons and their magic, he can guess. it is very soothing, but Ali's words are even more so. A very kind sentiment, making Concord wonder how much of his attraction is being drawn to Ali's natural warmth. Physical warmth, sure, but also this kind of caring warmth on display. Ali might be a quirky, strange sort of man, but so was Concord. Neither fit in with the norms of human society fully, they never could, but they're welcome all the same...
It's a pleasant thought. Concord moves his other arm around Ali and catches him, pulling him in to Concord's chest. Their shared bundle of hands rests over his heart and he squeezes the embrace tighter, letting the warmth be shared between them.
He doesn't know what more to say, he thinks that speaks well to his acceptance of the gesture. A touch romantic, he thinks again, also consider how much he doesn't mind that and how curious that is to him.]
