It's not a demon at your door
Her returning smile was ever so slightly sharp, revealing the fangs in her mouth out of sheer anticipation. "Maybe I'll join you tomorrow morning then," she suggested - adding another plan to their growing list. It felt good. To need no huge reason to align her schedule with his, finding ample points of shared interest that let her spend time in his company. "I'd offer to do it now, but I want you steady on your feet for the first time..." It was a gentle tease, as she knew Liam's drunken state was a sore topic; but given that he seemed to be sobering up over over time, she hoped he was feeling less bad about it.
It went without saying that the willingness to help went both ways. Many of her own wants were lofty and hard to achieve; but among them were plenty of ones that would only require hard work and time to accomplish. "Thank you. I'll be counting on you, rest assured," she hummed, while gazing fondly at him across the narrow space. "You'll let me know when you figure out your own wants, right? I want to give back every bit of what I'll receive..." Not one to bear only accepting, or only giving; what she craved above all else out of this relationship was equality. To stand on equal ground as him, and know that she could protect his back just as well as he shielded hers.
She added that to her list of desires; Dygra would be pleased to know how greedy she had become.

It's just your shadow on the floor
