Ardbert does need this, it's true. He also sincerely hopes (and knows) he's helping her, too. It's mutually beneficial for him to cherish and for her to be cherished as well as her helping him by letting him help her.
He smiles down at her gently after she kisses him, putting aside her sweater and the camisole stuck inside it. Ardbert leans forward to kiss the scales on her nose. Slow hands gently smooth along her sides, across skin and scale, stroking up then down her back.
The motions knock loose a scale, making him snort with amusement.
Era has to fight back the desire to scratch at the itch where the scale came from, knowing that scratching too much is bad for the fresh scale that had pushed the old one free. She sighs irritably, though it's easy enough to tell that her irritation stems from the discomfort rather than anything Ardbert is doing.
He feels her body shift as she keeps herself from scratching before she sighs in annoyance. Ardbert has to stop himself from laughing. It's adorable.
"I'd be driven insane if I had to deal with this like you do," Ardbert kisses a horn and hums ever so quietly against it as his hands work to undo her leggings' tie. "So I won't leave you hanging for long."
