She finds she’d let him do whatever with her in the afterglow, spent and exhausted and certainly a fan of the comfort of these rooms and the quiet company she’s managed to snare tonight. She doesn’t know anything about him, other than the fact he’s a natural, and it doesn’t bother her any. Not when she knows she’s going to leave Halo and the mountains behind at some point, to return home when the snows cease.

For the moment, she doesn’t mind being wrapped up in him, draped along him like her own sort of blanket, listening to his heartbeat and wondering if it matches the thundering rhythm of her own. At least she’s managed to catch her breath enough, pausing only when his question is aired in a deep rumble of sound that purrs along her bones, bringing out those ruffles of white feathers along her neck and shoulders, tipped in black. The feathers flex slightly as she lifts her head to let her soft ice blue eyes focus on him with a playful smirk that crosses her face.

And she nods, because it would be, if for no other reason than this in itself and the information she’d snatched from him about the creatures of Halo for her guild.
