Ooh -

[ A noise of surprise that quickly morphs into a chortle of pure delight. Byerly throws his arms around Bastien's neck, the better to facilitate the princess-carry, and then draws in a deep breath and starts belting the aria from Le Garde du Corps - ]

Je t'aimerai toujours -

[cozen]

[ Bastien laughs and, with his arms adequately repositioned, steps away from the desk into a waltz step while providing an aria-backing string section with hums.

It’s a very awkward princess-carry. One arm is near By’s knees where it belongs; the other is at the small of his back, so he’s held nearly as if he’s sitting upright in a chair of arms. (An arm chair, if you will.) Bastien still has to look up rather than down at him. But he doesn’t drop him, and when he’s confident he has the feel of the weight distribution, he does a few heel-spins for flourish. ]

You see, [ interrupting the song during a logical break, ] I am fully qualified to guard your body.

[ He can do this all day!

Or for about fifteen more seconds. ]
