I love Tony, too.

Er...that angsty snippet I posted that I said isn't canon?
Here's the official version, heavily inspired by the Valen Mod on P&T.
"...people will always hate me because of my blood, and...Eizabeth, I..." Valen sighed, watching her with distress. "I believe it best if we parted ways."
Her eyes widened, and she took a step back, staring with disbelief.
"What? No! Valen...no! You can't..."
"If I stay, you will only get hurt, perhaps even killed. I love you too much to let that happen."
Her eyes narrowed. "You need to stop being so hung up about your demonic blood! You're a tiefling; get over it. Protect me from your stupid self-lothing if you want to protect me, Valen!"
He glared coldy at her. "I cannot simply 'Get over it,' my lady. My heritage will always be a problem." his gaze turned sad, and he looked away. "I thought you were the woman I could turn to."
"And I believed you were the man that would stay by my side till his last breath." she said softly. "It appears that we were both wrong."
"Elizabeth, I cannot stay by your side if all it will do is draw danger to you. More danger." he amended hastily.
Her eyes watery, she suddenly moved forward, grabbing him by the horns and kissing him.
"Please don't leave me," she whispered, voice cracking. "Not you too. Please. We can go somewhere, somewhere where no one can find us, no one can bother us.
Please."
He felt his heart grow heavier. Elizabeth never begged; she was far too proud for that. But here she was, nearly sobbing, pleading for him to stay.
"Elizabeth..." he took her hands in his, her small, scarred hands, worn from years of fighting with blade and bow. "I would love nothing more, but-"
"Then lets do that!" she said earnestly, reaching up and kissing him again. Valen quickly gave into her affections, passionately returning her kiss. His tail snaked up her leg and squeezed her thigh.
"I will do anything for you, Elizabeth."
"They stay for me, mi amor. Stay with me." she begged, tears beginning to fall.
"
Please, mi amor"
