[ That's quite a positive feedback, which she kind of hoped to get from him. Marie smiles even wider, anxiety slowly melting off her shoulders. Even his following question doesn't cause her resolve to waver. ]
Thank you, dear Soundwave!
To answer your question: yes, indeed. We can continue everything that we had done together up to now. Though my relationship with Sanson is an important event for me, it does not change the fact I would still love to deepen my intimacy with you.
[This... brings up some conflicting feelings inside him. On the one hand, he's glad they're able to not only continue but deepen their intimacy with each other, keep loving like they normally would. But on the other hand, it's pretty awkward and frankly uncomfortable on his end doing it with someone who has a true conjunx. He doesn't want to say no to future intimacies, but it'd be difficult to act on it either.
It takes a while for him to come up with a reply.]
I see. This is strange to me, normally having a conjunx means you would be unavailable doing that sort of thing with others. I do not wish to get in the way of your relationship with him.
I may need to get used to the idea of continuing our intimacies . [Without feeling super awkward about it.]
You are not getting in the way. Please do not think that I would ever feel that way towards you or Konoka. I have talked to him extensively about it, and he understands the matter very well.
[ Sanson has issues of his own, but his open mind about what makes Marie happy is definitely a good point for him. ]
Take the time you wish, Soundwave. In no way would I force my feelings onto you. I know this was sudden, and I apologize if I sounded as though I was not considering how you felt at all, but I ultimately do, which is why I immediately contacted you instead of waiting.
Thank you for understanding. And thank you for contacting me about this, even if sudden. If what you said is true, that you and your conjunx talked, then it may be easier for me to adjust, given time.
[...]
We can still hold hands, hug, and kiss, but I apologize if I ever hold off opportunities to moonlace further with you in the future, Marie.
[ It's understandable. Her mindset doesn't let her relate with him right now, but she can definitely understand and accept that he needs time to get accustomed with the changes. ]
Like you said, there is need to adjust to the situation. Do not worry about my feelings on the matter, just focus on your own right now.
No matter how long it will take, I would never refuse lighthearted moonlacing with you in the meantime.
[As closely bonded as they are, there are some things that may be difficult for them to relate with. Marie's mindset, from the beginning, was a bit difficult for him to fully understand, being around her helps in understanding this love she carries. But this... this requires a lot to process through.]
We will have to postponed whatever plans we have until further notice. [Not cancelled, even he knows the moon's whims would want him to enact those plans, eventually.] I will come back to you once I have adjusted to this change.
Once more, thank you for your understanding, Marie.

Postponing is alright! I hope you will adjust alright and we can interact again with the same eagerness as our usual.
Then, I believe this is my cue to leave and let you think over it. Please do send me a message if you need anything.

As the conversation comes to its end, he'll send Marie a goodbye emoji
