Delphine leaned into his touch, whining when he pulled away, settling on the bed. She followed, moving to sit next to him, the hard mattress was still better than the cave floor. "Mmm. In a dormitory that had a few extra beds. We managed to find a table and some chairs, as well. Painted a sign," so people would know where to go. Though she kept her herbs and teas in their room; lest anyone is tempted to take what she had.
Even seated next to him, she fidgeted. She didn't like LongNight, a week of staying inside, of no sunlight. She wasn't afraid of the dark, and while she held fear for creatures that lurked in the dark, she was mostly...
Afraid of being trapped.
Stuck in place.
It was settling in, that these people, this place, would be her prison for a week. "Would you like some tea? You've been working hard." She moved before he could answer because there was already a kettle above the fire because there was always tea.
She had to do something with her hands, keep herself busy, moving, focused.
