Perhaps I should come visit you as well? Just staying still is enough to provide some energy, even if you can't sleep.

[sangreine]

If you wouldn't mind now and then, I have a pillow pile beneath a stormy sky with your name on it.

Don't worry about my health, though. I don't seem to need much sleep. Maybe it's because I evidently do it in long stretches rather than every day, if the memory I got today is to be believed. [ She has no idea how right she is about that. ] A few hours every few days seems to suit me just fine.

[happydreamed]

If that's what's healthy for you, then I won't worry overmuch. But I would like to sleep over, still.

[sangreine]

Consider it an open invitation. I'm sure I've got something eye-catching yet comfortable to wear for bed so you can fawn over me and sleep on me in whatever amounts you deem appropriate.

[ She's beginning to see how substantial a punishment being unable to undress is. Nothing like being unable to do something to make you want to do it unreasonably much. ]

[happydreamed]

A little of both, perhaps. Though I don't think I could resist napping on you for too long, but that says more about me.

[sangreine]

I'm delighted to be your pillow as often as possible. Maybe when I need a long stretch of sleep you can return the favor, hm? [ He can stay still for 30 years, right? ] It might spoil me unreasonably, I should warn you. Having you around is dangerously wonderful.

[ Meanwhile, she's making quick work of all this delicious food (leaving more than enough for him, of course, she's careful not to be greedy). ]

[happydreamed]

[Eating at a more leisurely pace.]

I can't imagine I'd be opposed to cuddling with you in any circumstance, particularly if it helps you sleep.

[sangreine]

If I'm relaxed enough, I can sleep for a while. [ wink wink ]

[happydreamed]

'Twould be my pleasure to help you relax.

[flirt flirt flirt

[sangreine]

[ The suggestive flirty-but-fit-for-polite-company thing is sexy as hell, goodness. ]

I didn't truly despise my punishment until just this minute. [ But she scoots over closer to him anyway, at least she's not barred from touch altogether. ]

[happydreamed]

Indeed, 'tis tragic. [Running his fingers through her hair gently. Polite company touch is fine!]

[sangreine]

[ Polite company rules will be respected! But he's fine with cuddling in general, it seems like, so she rests her head on his shoulder and leans into his touch like a cat bumping an outstretched hand. ]

When we're through here and packed up, any chance you could spare a minute to take me somewhere private? Just to thank you with a proper kiss. [ It's not like she can do much else unless they want to get creative. ]

[happydreamed]

[Cuddling is more than fine. It's no secret he's a cuddle bug.]

That could easily be arranged. Though no thanks are necessary, of course.

[sangreine]

[ Not a secret, and one of her favorite things about him (among many)! ]

Then how about just because I want to?

[ And because for once no one is beaten or bloody or in a terrible mood and who knows how long that will last? And because she's a physically demonstrative creature and trying to express herself without kissing (etc) is very Hard Mode and gets her way too inside her head about whether there's any reciprocated desire there. ]

guess who thought this posted but it did not

[happydreamed]

More than fine with me. I quite like kissing you, in fact.

/pats!

[sangreine]

Do you, now? I'm not sure what to make of that. [ How SHOCKING honestly ]

I suppose it would be useless to pretend I'm too ladylike to accept that compliment without swooning.

[happydreamed]

Not if you're going to continue to shower me in such compliments. Fair is fair.

[sangreine]

I suppose fair is fair, then, because I just open my mouth around you and compliments fall out. Quite the predicament. I think you'll have to get used to it.

[happydreamed]

However will I endure?

[Smooches the top of her head.]

[sangreine]

I'll do my best to soothe your misery however I can. [ Namely with snuggles, which she proceeds to offer. Some things she likes more than food. ]

Would you like to watch my new memory before we finish up? I'm interested in an objective perspective, because I don't know what to make of it. I wasn't thinking very clearly. [ And when they do find some privacy, she doesn't want to be focused on her past. Better to get it over with. ]

[happydreamed]

I might not have any useful insight, but I'll see what I can offer.

[Realistically, he doesn't know any more about her past than she does, and without context it's hard to tell some things...]

[sangreine]

Thank you. [ She gives him a kiss on the cheek before going to dig out her phone, and settles in beside him before replaying the memory. It's not traumatic, at least? ]

[ Her mind in that memory is totally blank. Not even language present, nothing. So it's a big challenge to try and really get much from it. She doesn't want to color his thoughts with her attempts at explanations, so in the end she just waits. ]

[happydreamed]

[Doctor watches, attention fixed on the screen. Normally he might make a comment about her nudity, but this is important and he wants to take is seriously.]

...Coming out of hibernation, perhaps. Or - no, 'tis closer to a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis.

[sangreine]

Hibernation makes sense, I suppose. There were no words in my head, only feelings. [ She doesn't say that the state of mind is similar to her massacre, except for that the only feeling was rage. In this memory she had a range of emotions swimming around, as if trying to decide which would win out. ]

A butterfly, hm? It's nice to be compared to something beautiful. [ As opposed to the monster she is. ]

[happydreamed]

You are beautiful, so 'tis an easy comparison to make.

[Not a monster. Never.]
