You're so cold
but you feel alive
The smile she offered at his reply, at the simple 'yes' that really answered everything for both of them, was warm, if perhaps a little shy. She was equally as reluctant to step away as he seemed to be at letting go, and the cool air of this underground shelter made goosebumps flare over her arms. So cold, compared to the warmth she'd been flooded with in his arms.
"Are you sure you'll fit on the couch?" she asked, when offered the bed. She looked between it and the couch with some doubt, measuring them both and compared to his long, muscular frame. "No need to be considerate, I'll fit anywhere." She indicated her own small frame. No doubt she could have been hoisted up into one of the shelves like some odd ornament, a slightly oversized doll brought temporarily alive.
Regardless of where she would end up sleeping, the girl followed Sunjata's example and began to remove the bulkier layers - which wasn't much, considering the season. It felt strange to take off boots and unbutton the dress with another person in the room, behind her turned back. Rather intimate, in a way she had not felt before. Even at the farm while in the care of her brother and his family she'd had a room of her own, the luxury of privacy whenever she wished it... Though she supposed it was for the company she was still here.
