Maea
And time it waits for no one
It heals them when you die
It heals them when you die
The question drew a smile to her lips, and the song faded off into a hummed smile. He sounded like he was about to drop off at any moment - she hardly had to sing him to sleep. A few moments more of silence would see to that, no doubt. "Not necessarily... but you seemed so tired. You can sleep if you want."
There would be plenty of time to talk tomorrow. A roof still needed to be mended, breakfast eaten, and perhaps this time he might actually walk her back to the portal, when time came for Maea to leave. Like things were supposed to have been, had they not been drunk and agitated, asking too many questions and answering them too honestly.
But still. She would not say no to spending as many waking moments with him as possible. Whatever fears and anxieties she'd carried earlier this evening, they weree gone now. Driven away for the moment by food and drink, by the heat of his breath on her skin and the comfortable, familiar scent of his hair. She buried her nose deeper into it, sighing contentedly at how tightly he held her.
"Anything you want to talk about?" she mumbled, drowsy and warm, but not nearly as tired as he was. And curious too, now that he said things like that.

And soon you are forgotten
A whisper within a sigh
A whisper within a sigh
