[Certainly at least some of it can be attributed to the incredible intensity of Gai's eyes, something that isn't even a conscious choice on his part. They may not be glowing right now, but there's something about their color that makes them look almost lit from within.

[He gives her hand a squeeze back, then dips to brush his lips against her forehead.]
