love isn't enough of a drug

The anticipated response was given but still, Azure's nod was appreciative. The master and servant did not have years of familiarity between them nor the sort of friendship one might need to undergo a task like what he had requested of her without question or concern.

Side effects that might make her seek out another healer, risking their secrecy.

He watched as she pinned her ears - expecting punishment? - and bowed her head, falling silent once more. "So am I, on both counts." It was easy enough to let the transgression go, after all, Azure very much preferred being reminded of who his underlings were as individuals.
