Delphine smiled at his answer. It wasn't a promise of no anger, but it was a promise of trust, and of calm discussion, of gentle hands and voices. She eyed him questioningly when he spoke of a curse; he must have visited a shrine, then. At least it wasn't permanent.
When Noah answered her questions about rules, her brows furrowed and her fingers curled against his sides, as he drew her into him again.
"I..." Her voice trembled, as she snuffled. "I-I like those very much." She whispered, hiding her face against his chest. She wasn't a fan of crying where people could see. "I'm s... sorry," she murmured, pushing away from his chest, sniffling.
"You should sleep. I've kept you up. I'm sorry." She was apologizing for her tears and apologizing for keeping him awake because surely he'd be asleep if not for her.
Still crying, she rubbed at her eyes, yawning herself. "Mmm... I can keep the fire going. Go--" Another yawn, "--to bed." She pushed at his chest, ushering him to obey.

How can I begin again?
How can I try to love someone new,
someone who isn’t you?
