U'reksh looked among Alisaie, Urianger, and Y'dehlya as they chattered, though it was more Alisaie fending off their elders' teasings. The couple had started exchanging competitive threats with each other that looked uncannily like flirting in the middle of their group's conversation, moving closer and closer to the point they were literally butting heads against each other, until Urianger, of all people, essentially told them to "just shut up and kiss already" in his own unique Urianger way, stunning the other three.

U'reksh's eyes fell back on Alisaie, still half-turned towards the other two, and a small smirk crossed his lips. He put his hands in his pockets and swiftly gave her a peck on the lips, making her let out a muffled sound of surprise and left her cheeks dusted a noticeable shade of pink. Her eyes went wide from the shock of his boldness as she whirled on him fully. "W-What was that for?"

"You left yourself open to attack." He replied matter-of-factually, the smirk growing wider on his face. Y'dehlya snickered and nudged Urianger with her elbow. He gave her a amused look.

Alisaie growled, grit her teeth and balled her hands into fists, and she looked up at U'reksh with a fire in her eyes. "I'll show you 'open to attack'!" She grabbed him by the front of his shirt and kissed him back fiercely. It was U'reksh's turn to be taken by surprise. Whatever sound he made was muffled by her lips against his.

She shoved him away, still holding him by the collar. "How do you like that?" She gasped, now wearing a wicked grin; the kind she sported whenever she had him on the backfoot in their spars.

"You...You're lucky...we won't be seeing each other...for a while..." He panted, though he, too was smiling.

Y'dehlya chuckled, shaking her head. "It's not a competition, you two."

"Nay, not for most." Urianger told her. "But for these two, they're inclined to transform any activity into such. By now, you ought to know this fact well enough."

Maybe just having the aether be split between the two and it is still overwhelming?

Maybe U’reksh’s Dark Knight powers, which will be involved regardless of what I do, either have been actively containing the Light as he takes it in until he physically can’t anymore or they just reflect off of him and it all goes full-force into Y’dehlya? Either way, it does boost his immunity further than Y’dehlya’s.
