I'm not giving you an open license to make love to anyone who may wander up and ask - Please note that Remilia is using the phrase "make love to" in an older, broader sense than we usually think of it nowadays. In Victorian English, it connotes the whole range of amorous behaviors—verbal professions of love, kissing, petting, what might now be summarized as "canoodling"—rather than merely being, as it is today, a euphemism for sexual congress. (Compare the way, if you're not familiar with Victorian conventions of word usage, the Sherlock Holmes stories may be startling in re the frequency with which Dr. Watson ejaculates, and the context in which it often happens. :) --G. -><- Benjamin D.
