Her laughter was a beautiful sound to his ears: it made him feel buoyant, even more so to know that he was the reason she was laughing. Buchanan grinned against her before she stretched up and the assassin felt her grip his ear between her teeth. The gesture didn't hurt yet it elicited a soft, startled gasp from the Gamma, regardless. It hadn't been expected, but it wasn't exactly unpleasant. He let out a soft snort of amusement a few seconds later when she teased to him that it would take work to make her happy and that she was high-maintenance. “You're worth the effort.” Buchanan purled to her, knowing that he was repeating himself. He remembered saying something very similar earlier in their conversation and though she was teasing him it hardly mattered: whether she'd been teasing or not wasn't going to change his response. Banner was worth it; she'd always be worth it and this Buchanan confidently and firmly believed. “Guess you'll have to break your other suitor's hearts now, huh?” He teased her with a soft chuckle.
