"I shall hope for it." He tells Hythlodaeus softly. Fun as this was, he wants Hythlodaeus to feel like himself.

He smiles at him gently. "The same goes for me. It is utterly impossible for me to want you less." If the two of them had endured in one another's heart and soul for lifetimes, he's not worried that it will disappear anytime soon. In fact, as he lies next to Hythlodaeus watching him, he feels as though his heart may burst with love.

"My heart will always be yours. But I will say it was nice to see such a side of you. Especially since I have felt it as well." Despite being so sure in Hythlodaeus' feelings for him, he is pretty prickly about it if someone else gets a little too close. That's just his personality really.
