[Event]sets up for class, acting normal. She takes a sip from a large coffee as she waits for students.
walked in a little later than normal, running a hand through his hair as he clutched his coffee.
notices the lateness but decides to ignore it. She starts class, glancing at him every once in a while.
seemed a little more tired than normal, but kept up with taking notes.
continues with the lecture, wondering why he didn't look so good...
just made sure his coffee was in his hand, making sure to take a sip every now and then. There was only a few times when he missed out on what she was saying.
finishes up the class and watches him.
finished off his coffee and ran a hand through his hair again. He slowly started to pack up after.
walks over to him but stays silent.
noticed and smiled when she got close, stretching out but not extending his arms fully. "Heeeeeej."
raises an eyebrow. "You seem off today."
shrugs. "Just a little tired I guess... nothin' else."
nods slowly. "Alright. Get some rest later."
smiles and nods. "Ja. I will. I just need to do some exercises and stuff to keep awake."
"Do you have the grading?"
snapped his fingers at that. "Right! I knew I forgot somethin'... Shit."
shrugs. "It doesn't have to be done right away, just when you get time."
shakes his head. "I'll get on it right away... just a bit of a... rough weekend."
tilts her head. "Anything you want to talk about?"
shakes his head. "Nah, it's fine. Nothin' for ye to worry about." He tried to smile to reassure her.
frowns ever so faintly. "Do we need to go get coffee?"
shrugs. "It wouldn't hurt. Hopefully will keep me awake... and we can talk 'bout markin' and stuff."
nods and gathers up her notes.
finished packing up from before and got up, swaying a bit but got over to her unharmed.
notices the swaying. She looks at him for a bit before starting to walk out.
hummed quietly as they walked, seemingly fine after that
*.
still watches him from the corner of her eye. She didn't need him collapsing...
wouldn't do that much. He seemed to walk fine after that first mishap, and was just thankful to get to the cafe and got the strongest coffee he could.
orders herself a lighter coffee than usual and adds some cream and sugar.
dumped a ton of sugar in his with a bit of milk before sitting down at a table. "Soooo. How've yer other classes been?"
sits across from him and shrugs. "Usual."
nods a bit. "Nothin' too stressful lately then?"
sips at her coffee and shrugs again.
nods at that, sipping his coffee with both hands on the cup.
"I'll be turning in my resignation tomorrow."
frowns as he almost dropped his cup. "... Really?"
nods slowly and drinks some more coffee, looking away from him.
frowned and nodded, looking down at his coffee after.
sets her coffee down unfinished.
sighs. "I'll miss ye..."
stares at the table. "I might still go to classes here. I'm not sure..."
nods a little. "Still. I wouldn't be the same..."
sighs under her breath before picking the coffee back up.
smirked a bit, not wanting her to feel guilty. "I guess ye will be free to do somethin' else. So that'll be fun."
just sips her coffee in silence.
hums. "And we could even keep in touch, if ye wanted..."
glances at him before nodding. "We could..."
smiles. "I'd like that! We can e-mail and stuff, and I could tell ye what's goin' on 'round here."
might have smiled a little at that. "That would be nice."
wrote down his e-mail address on some paper and passed it off to her. "Here. I'm on whenever m'not studyin'."
writes down her own and passes it to him. "Alright."
put it in his pocket, wiggling from being excited now. "This'll be fun."
watches him as she finishes her coffee.
sipped his a bit more, almost forgetting it and in a better mood than earlier.
Gjertrud
was
glad at least someone was in a good mood.
wanted to help her get better too. "I'd ask ye out for a drink tonight, but I have a feelin' that's not gonna happen."
hesitates. "I wouldn't mind... I just wouldn't drink as much."
smiles. "We can go tonight then... and I'll try to be more responsible."
nods, smiling faintly. "I'm looking forward to it."
wiggled more happily. "Same time same place?"
nearly laughs. "Sounds good to me."
smiled even more. "Okay. But we gotta have at least a round of three shots. Deal?"
pauses before nodding. "I think I can agree to that."
finished off his coffee. "Great! I'll need to have a quick nap before I go though. I might be late again... but I'll try really hard not to."
shakes her head. "Don't worry, you need to sleep more than to go out drinking."
shrugs. "I think it'd be better if I was out more, really.."
sighs. "Just try not to skip sleep on purpose. It's very important."
nods. "I know... without it I become a zombie. That's not pretty. I honestly just walk around aimlessly and don't even know why I'm up."
stands to throw away her cup. "Just don't let yourself get to that point."
nods as he did the same. "Don't worry... I don't like doin' that to myself..."
hesitates. "Do you have more classes today?"
shakes his head. "This is my only one for today. Why?"
shrugs. "No reason....."
nods a little. "Ye sure?"
glances away. "I was going to the bookstore. Maybe you could look for Hans Christian Andersen..."
smiles. "That sounds fun. I can drop it off in my room after if we find it before we go for drinks... Or we could read the stories as we drink."
nearly smiles. "That would certainly be interesting."
nods and stretched a bit again. "Wanna go now then?"
nods. "Sure." She grabs her bag and starts to walk out.
smiled widely and made sure to keep up with her. "I want the fuuuull collection of stories... and I'll read 'em before I go to bed."
"Not if it means that you won't get much sleep."
nods. "Ja, I know... but I'll be excieted once I get it~"
walks out and starts heading to the bookstore. "Me too..."
kept up by her side, putting his hands in his pockets. "I wonder if I'll know any from bein' a kid..."
glances at him. "Probably. I'm pretty sure I still know some."
shrugs. "I'd be tryin' to remember things from when I was 3. I doubt I'll remember too much..."
tilts her head. "You haven't read them at all since then?"
shakes his head. "My... 'parents', wouldn't allow it."
sighs quietly. "Sorry..."
shakes his head again. "It's not your fault. Not like ye could control them." He laughed quietly after.
frowns. "I'd hide my books from my parents.."
nods a bit. "I don't know what ever happened to mine... I just knew I couldn't take 'em..."
puts her hands in her pockets as she walks.
started humming again quietly.
glances at him before looking back to the sidewalk.
ran a hand through his hair before smiling. "If we get drunk again and start tellin' stories, we'll make a mess of it..."
nearly smiles. "That doesn't sound so bad, though."
shakes his head. "We'll have fun. That's all that matters."
smiles faintly. "Yeah..."
hums. "We should record ourselves too. That way we'll really regret it in the morning." He joked.
shakes her head. "No.. As funny as it would be I don't think so."
smirked at her, so temted to do that now.
stares at him. "No."
"Oh come on. It'll be a great memory to have."
rolls her eyes. "Well will be sober enough to remember it."
siiighs. "Fiiiine then." He opened the door of the book store for her.
steps inside, hiding a smile behind her hand.
hummed as he went to check where the book would be... He actually didn't really have an idea.
glances around the shelves. "Maybe the kids section?"
sighs. "Ja, I'd guess so... some places might not like it though 'cause of the content and what not."
nods and walks to the novel section, searching through the A section.
hummed as he searched in the kids section, just in case. He hoped they had it.
doesn't find it but she notices a display of classic literature and checks those books.
noticed that soon after and zipped over. It would be here, he knew it. It was studied a lot after all in English classes.
smiles and pulls a book off the shelf.
smiled widely when he saw her do that. "Is that the full collection?"
nods and holds it out for him to see.
flailed a bit and got a book for himself, smiling even wider as he started flipping through stories.
laughs under her breath. "Not going to wait?"
chuckled quietly. "I'm just so excited... I've not seen these stories for years. It's like a part of my childhood has come back to me."
nods and grabs a copy of the book for herself.
held his close, fingers idly going over the indentation on the front of the book. He was probably more happy than he should have been.
couldn't really fault him for that. She starts to walk to the cashier, book in hand.
followed behind her while pulling out his wallet. He was dying to read the stories later.
checks out and steps aside for him.
quickly bought his, holding the bag the book was in closer as he headed for the exit. "Aaahhh~ I'm so happy."
watches him. "Do you want to go read it now? I think I have some drinks at my place, we could just skip the bar."
smiles. "That'd be nice. This should be appreciated in more of a home settin' anyways."
nods and starts walking to her building.
walked quickly, swaying as he went. He was really over joyed for this...
opens the door to the building. A few people could be heard down the hall and she glances at him, holding a finger to her mouth to signal him to be quiet.
nodded and kept his mouth shut, not wanting to get her in trouble.
carefully walks to the stairs, starting up.
made sure to be quiet as he walked up the stairs, not racing up like how he so wanted to.
gets to her landing and walks down the hall, opening the door to her apartment.
quickly slipped in and took off his shoes by the door.
shuts the door behind them. "Sorry about that. I don't know how people would react if they saw me bringing you up here..."
shakes his head and smiled a bit. "It's alright, I understand. There's a lot of controversy and it seems these days teachers can't chill with students..."
nods slowly and glances around. There were piles of books stacked on most of the chairs. "...Do you mind sitting on the floor? I can pull out some blankets and pillows..."
chuckles and shakes his head. "Not at all. It'll be like story time."
walks to her room and pulls a few blankets out of the closet.
got comfy on the ground and pulled out his book, looking at the intricate details on the cover and spine.
sets up some blankets on the ground before walking to the kitchen. "I have some beer and some vodka."
licked his lips. "My two favourite drinks. I'm so up for this." He got comfortable and waited for her.
brings the drinks over and takes a seat near him.
smiles as he put his book down in front of him. "Which story should we read first?"
"You pick a favorite and then I'll pick one?"
nodded and picked up the book, flipping to the Stautch Tin Soldier. He smiled before starting to read it out loud.
settles down and opens a beer as she listens.
took his time to appreciate all the words. The smiled never once left his face as he read.
watches him, smiling faintly as well.
got really into it, and even though the ending was sad he was smiling. "That was great. Like, so amazin'." He handed her the book after. "Yer turn!" His eyes were probably as wide as a child's right now.
takes the book and glances at him before turning the pages to Thumbelina.
smiled and brought his legs up, wrapping his arms around them as he looked at her and sipped at a beer he opened.
reads to him and occasionally stops to sip at her beer.
pretty much listened to her every word, amazed by the stories. Even if they seemed so unbelieveable, the thought of them had always given him hope. Even if he didn't remember them.
finishes the story and downs the rest of her beer.
clapped a little. "That's a great story..."
nods, smiling at him. "I've missed reading stories like these..."
nodded and sipped more of his beer. "I don't remember doin' this, so it's fun..." He took the book back and did the classic Little Mermaid.
drinks some more as she listens to him, enjoying hearing him talk.
got really into it, doing different voices for the different characters.
laughs under her breath at the voices.
Søren
was
having way too much fun, but he really didn't care. He finished it and put the book down between them, finishing off his beer before pouring himself some vodka.
drinks some more and glances at him. "Want to take a break from reading for a bit?"
nods a little. "We could. These stories deserve to sink in so we can appreciate them now... and the booze."
nods and pours herself some vodka. "We read the first few seriously, I think we can do the next few tipsy."
chuckles and nods some more as he sipped his vodka. "We paid our respects. Now we'll have fun~"
hums under her breath as she drinks.
swirled his drink around. "It'll be a shame to see ye leave."
sighs quietly. "I'll miss it here.."
nods. "M'sure other people will miss ye too."
frowns and sips at her vodka slowly.
smiled at that. "But I'm sure ye'll be happy either way."
sets the vodka down. "Sure..."
nods. "Ye'l do well, too. I know it."
...leans against his arm, frowning.
blinks a bit and looked to her. "... Do ye not wanna leave?"
shakes her head slowly. "I don't want to."
"Why can't ye stay then...?"
sighs. "My parents..."
nods. "So...?"
"They don't want me to stay here. I've got my doctorate, I don't need any more school."
nods at that. "What if ye're just a part time teacher, then? And just kinda work on-call with the nearby hospital?"
frowns. "I don't know if I could even do that..."
shrugs. "Classes are only a few hours, a few times a week... chances of ye bein' called in while teachin' is rare. And even if ye do, ye can just dismiss the class."
shakes her head. "No, I don't think I could be a doctor at a hospital... I'm not the type for it."
frowns. "But ye did all that studyin' to get yer doctorate..."
nods and glances up at him. "I never wanted to be a medical doctor, though..."
frowns more at that, nodding. "... Be what ye want to be then. Yer life belongs to ye... If ye're meant for somethin' different, then ye can't help it."
"If it was that easy I wouldn't be here now..."
rubbed her back lightly. "Just stay... be a teacher for good."
frowns and hugs him. "I don't know..."
blushed faintly but rubbed her back. "Ye can't let yer parents decide yer life... even if ye seem to disappoint them 'cause of yer desicion..."
might be a little tipsy already... "I've already disappointed them."
could tell, making him slow down his own drinking. "How so...? I'm sure they'll be proud of ye no matter what ye do..."
shakes her head. "No, they won't."
sighed and hugged her. "Ye shouldn't let what they think affect ye... if what parents said mattered, I'd be dead by now."
blinks at him. "What do you mean?"
sighs. "My adoptive parents didn't think I'd account to anythin'..."
frowns. "That's not true, though, you've done well."
smirks. "I know... it was mostly due to my sister."
nods. "Well that's good that you have her to support you."
nodded. "Ja... I'm lucky, really. To have a sister like her..." He shook his head a bit as he sipped some more vodka. "Ye shouldn't let yer parents decide yer life.."
sighs. "They just want what's best for me..."
nods. "I know... but ye gotta do yer own path."
frowns and moves away from him. "Sure, sure..."
sighed quietly. "It's just a thought, at least..."
drinks some more vodka.
wanted to help make her feel better.
didn't really know what would help...
didn't either, but he wanted to be there for her.
liked spending time with him...
liked spending time with her. He rarely ever did like to be alon.
*alone
didn't mind being alone but she felt comfortable around him.
Søren
was
glad for that. He wanted to make people happy, so anything that he could do was a bonus.
hums under her breath, grabbing the book and starting to read another story.
smiles a little as he listend to her again.
reads, stumbling over the words a little now.
smirked and rubbed her back, showing her that he didn't mind.
leans into him a little and tries to focus on the words, giggling occasionally.
laughed with her, mostly from how contagious it was.
smiles at him. "I don' know if I can read more, I keep messin' up."
chuckles. "Want me to finish the story then?"
nods and passes it to him, reaching for another beer.
kept her steady so she didn't fall over as he continued on.
leans against him as he reads.
took his time, needing it to concentrate on the words.
watches the words as he reads, the letters swimming on the page.
continued on until he finished the story and looked to her to see how conscious she was.
smiles up at him and sways a little.
chuckles a bit. "That enough stories for tonight?"
nods and stretches out, laughing faintly.
smiled and put the book away safely, not wanting any booze to get on it. "We should do this until all the stories are read..."
hums and hugs him. "This is fun~"
chuckled and hugged her back. "Ja. I really look forward for these kind of nights."
laughs. "We really should do this more often."
nods. "How 'bout every Wednesday, or Friday?"
nods in agreement, nuzzling against him. "I'll look forward to it."
chuckled more as he pulled down the sleeves of his sweater, more of a subconscious habit. "Awesome. We'll drink and read and have fun."
laughs. "This is really great."
hums. "Even if ye do leave bein' a teacher... don't go too far. We need to continue doin' this."
nods. "I wouldn't want to go too far from you."
smiled at that and hugged her a bit tighter. He hadn't heard that from someone before, besides his sister.
hums quietly and hugs him tighter in response. She liked how supportive and positive he was... She hadn't really met anyone like that before.
had to be to get through life. It just grew to be a part of him. He liked to make people happy though. "If ye ever need someone to listen to ye, I'll always have an open ear..."
smiles and wiggles happily. "Same here. I'll listen to you."
chuckles. "Trust me, I have too many problems to place onto yer shoulders..."
shakes her head. "Then you shouldn't be keeping them all to yourself."
hums. "I've learned to live with it... mostly..."
sighs quietly and clings to him. "It's not healthy to hold everything in."
nods a little. "I know... trust me."
rubs his back lightly. "I'd be willing to listen. If you're ever willing to tell me."
smiled at that and pulled back to look at her. "Tak. But I got it handled."
frowns faintly, not quite believing him.
just smiled and tilted his head as he looked at her.
moves closer to him, looking right back at him.
chuckled a bit as he didn't look away. "Ye sure ye wanna do this once or so a week?"
smiles and nods. "I like spending time with you."
nodded a little. "What 'bout everyone around? Aren't ye still worried 'bout them?"
"They don't matter." Unless she was sober...
had a fear for that. He didn't want her to regret anything when the next morning came along...
wouldn't regret it but she would be cautious. Just because she was resigning didn't mean she couldn't be fired...
just hoped what she knew she wanted and it wasn't the booze that was talking. He was always worried about drama the days after.
enjoyed spending time with him like this. She wouldn't have invited him over again if she regretted the first time.
just worried some times. He was happy here, though. It kept him occupied and it was a pretty positive setting.
hums under her breath and nuzzles his chest. "I like you..."
smiled a little and rubbed her back lightly. "Tak... I like ye too."
wiggles happily and glances back up at him.
chuckles at that. "I guess ye'll want me to stay over again for the night, ja?"
smiles at him faintly. "If you would like to."
hums and nods. "It's safer. Besides, someone needs to be around to make coffee for ye tomorrow when a wave of regret hits." He joked as he kept rubbing her back.
smirks. "I won't regret anything."
nods at that. "I'm glad, then... I just want ye happy."
nods in return. "Even if I act like it, I never regret anything."
smiled at that and sipped a bit more beer. "That's good to know... I worry 'bout that some times, with anyone."
laughs. "Even when I'm drunk, I don't regret."
smiled even more at that and nodded. "Good... I just want ye happy."
hums and sits back in the blankets.
watched her as he relaxed a bit more, leaning back withi his arms supporting him up. "I like it here..."
smiles and lays back next to him. "I'm glad..."
sighs. "It's so quiet and calm and nothin' bad..."
rolls over onto her stomach and traces his hand with her fingers. "Yeah..."
watched her, his fingers twitching a bit from the slight tickling sensation.
"You have nice hands."
blushes faintly. "Ye think so? I try to take good care of 'em since I'll need to be careful when I become a doctor..."
hums. "They're very soft. "
smiles. "I use lotion so they don't dry out... I guess it keeps 'em soft too..."
smiles back at him. "I use lotion too but it never seems to make my hands any softer."
smiles back at him. "I use lotion too but it never seems to make my hands any softer."
shrugs. "I guess I just study too much, so my hands aren't exposed to much besides books..."
laughs. "if that's true my hands should be softer than yours."
smirks a bit. "Maybe ye just don't use the right type of lotion."
sits up a little, her hand moving to his shoulder. "that might be it."
shivered a bit as he kept his eyes on her. "I could bring it for ye if ye wanna try it..."
smiles faintly. "Sure. It would be nice to find a new lotion."
smiled back to her, shifting his arms slightly away from her after.
notices the shift and pulls her arms away from him as well.
didn't mean to seem rude or anything, he was still enjoying his time here.
settles down against some pillows and watches him, still smiling faintly.
smiled back at her. "Ye gonna pass out now?"
shakes her head with a laugh. "No."
smiled at that and nodded. "Good. I'm havin' fun here."
hums under her breath and closes her eyes. "Ja..."
continued to smile as he watched her. "Do you have any other friends?" He didn't mean to sound mean by that, he just didn't think.
opens her eyes and glances at him. "..." She shrugs and looks away from him.
nods a bit. "So I'm like... ye're only friend then..? Or am I still considered a student? This is tricky..."
frowns and fidgets with a blanket. "I don't know..."
nods at that as he shifted a bit closer. "Even though professionally ye're my teacher... I consider ye my friend."
looks at him. "I... I'm glad to hear that."
smiled at that as he brought his legs up and wrapped his arms around them. "I don't have many friends, so m'glad to have at least one."
tilts her head. "You don't?"
shakes his head. "Despite what it seems like, I don't have the best of people skills. Once I get to know people I'm fine, but it's actually the first step I'm not good at..."
frowns. "I would have never guessed... You seemed to handle the first step of getting to know me fine."
shrugs. "In a way though, ye're forced to know me. I'm a student, after all."
sighs quietly. "I don't know most of my students, though..."
shrugs again. "Maybe I was lucky, or it was just meant to be."
leans back where she sat. "You believe in luck?"
nods. "It's what's kept me alive all these years."
frowns. "What do you mean?"
sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. "It's the only real thing I could believe and have hope in. My past isn't one of the more promising ones..."
rolls over and looks at him. "I'm sure that's not true..."
fidgeted a bit with the ends of his sweater. "Sadly, it is..."
frowns. "It's not true anymore, though."
smiles. "Ja... ever since we left our parents things have been great."
blinks and hesitates before responding. "What did your parents do?"
frowned and wrapped his arms around himself. "They were... more hands on than other parents."
watches him in silence for a bit before moving to hug him.
smiled a little and leaned into her. "Tak.."
hugs him. "At least you are away from them now."
nodded. "Ja... my sister and I plan to get a place as soon as I'm done school. I'll go right into work and she'll finish off school, then we'll get all our stuff from home so we never have to go back.
*"
"If you ever need help with anything, you can let me know."
smiled and nodded. "I know... but I feel guilty puttin' my problems on people when they have their own..."
shakes her head. "Mine aren't that bad at all, really..."
shrugs. "It's okay..." He was also a bit worried of being judged from his actions.
wouldn't judge him. She sighs quietly and stops hugging him. "I wouldn't mind..."
rubbed his arms a bit nervously. "I know... but... I can't help it. I just keep things to myself."
frowns. "It's not healthy to do that..."
sighs. "I know... but I manage..."
"If you want to help others, you must first help yourself."
nods faintly. "I do... I just do it in my own way.."
looks at him. "How?"
frowned and went silent after that, holding his arms close to himself.
watches him in silence. She didn't want to pressure him into saying anything...
sighs. "It's... not the best way to deal with it. But it works..." He hadn't had to admit it to anyone before, so he didn't know what to do.
frowns a little. "Maybe you can find another way..?"
nods at that. "I've tried, but just haven't been able to find anythin' good."
"You can't give up, though."
smiles at that. "I know. At one point I started drinkin' a lot, but knew that was the wrong way to go... I can't ruin my sister's life by always lookin' after me, anyways."
shakes her head. "I think that she would be upset if she knew you weren't taking care of yourself."
nods. "Ja, I try to be good. She's not had to worry 'bout me too much, thankfully."
sighs quietly. "Just don't give her anymore to worry about."
smiles. "I know. That's the last thing I wanna do... I want her to be happy, and do well."
nods. "So take of yourself."
smiles some more as he looked down. "I've been doin' good lately... she's focused on school, and not havin' issues. So that's good."
smiles a little at him. "Just keep doing well."
smiled more as he nodded to her. "Mhmm. I plan to. I'm tryin' not to let things get to me as much anymore."
nods slowly and looks at the ceiling. "That is a good attitude to take."
chuckles a bit. "Without that, I wouldn't be where I was today. I'm glad I've never lost it."
sighs. "I wish I could think like that..."
shrugs. "It takes skill... or just a lot of practice."
shakes her head. "I don't know if I'd be able to."
smiles and pokes her nose. "I'm sure ye can."
blinks in surprise at the poke and turns to look at him before smiling faintly.
nods. "See? That's a start. Keep a smile on yer face."
smirks and reaches out to poke his side.
wiggled a bit, being a little ticklish there.
tickles him, enjoying feeling carefree for a bit.
wiggled more and tried to push her hands away. "Ahahh! N-nej! Stop that!" He couldn't help but laugh though.
laughs under her breath and wiggles closer to keep tickling him.
laughed more as he fell onto his back, trying to cover up his sides so she couldn't get to them.
sits up and hovers over him, not giving up.
clenched his eyes, trying not to laugh too loud but it was hard. "G-Gjertrud! S-st-ahah!" He tried tickling her back, hoping to at least get even with her.
makes a strange laughing noise and stops tickling him as she tries to cover her own sides.
smirks and took that advantage to tickle her more back.
laughs a little more and falls onto him, her arms covering her sides.
laughed at that and stopped tickling her, lightly putting his arms around her to keep her from getting back at him.
tries to catch her breath, laughing quietly and smiling at him.
smiled back at her. "Ye've got quite the personality... It's nice..."
blushes faintly. "I... it's probably just the alcohol..."
shrugs. "I'm sure, even without it, ye could be this happy... ye just gotta let someone close..."
blinks at him before sighing a little and resting against his chest. "I don't know..."
stroked her hair ligthly. "Ye do have a unique personality... I guess it drives most people away..."
frowns. "My sister is the only person I've let be close to me... well, there's you now..."
nods a little. "So I guess we're kinda in the same situation, eh? Our sisters are the only others close to us..."
laughs humorlessly. "Ja, I guess. Mine's half a world away though...."
frowns a bit. "Wow, that must be tough. I doubt I could live without my sister within walkin' distance..."
shrugs. "She is happy and she is doing what she wants to do. I made sure my parents at least let her do that."
smiled a bit. "At lest that's good, then..."
nods and looks back at him, smiling faintly.
poked her nose again lightly. "Ye'll do well, with whatever ye do..."
blinks at that and leans in closer to him. "Thanks..."
smiled wider at her. He was glad to make people feel happy.
realizes that she was laying on him and freezes before starting to move away from him.
slowly moved his arms off her, laughing quietly. He didn't mind that she was on him, at all.
didn't want him to think she was being forward. She yawns a little and sits up.
didn't think she was, he saw it as just them having fun. "Ye ready to sleep now~?"
nods and stretches her arms. "Ja, it's probably about time."
