She lets out a breath of laughter. He does have a point. No one has ever supported their union. There were many times they didn't support their union. She knows they love each other. God it barely took a minute before she was back at his side in the grand scheme of things. Matthew has clearly had a change of heart after what he's been through in her absence.

"We are quite unpopular together." She admits as he nuzzles her neck. Elektra inhales sharply. He knows that spot is sensitive. She hates that he's distracting her. She wants this seed planted before he goes on another martyr bender. It certainly doesn't help hearing him say that he'll protect her. It breaks her heart that he wants to. There's no way he can keep that promise. More importantly, it's simply nice for her to feel valued by anyone. Her eyes well up again, but she restrains herself this time from giving into her emotions. "I'll protect you too. You know I will. If something is outside of our control, I want you to know it doesn't mean you're any less for it. If you can't protect me from something we can't perceive, don't hate yourself for it. Please, Matthew."
