Thank you, my love. ( She would just continue clinging to the hope that if it could happen for Tayrey, it could happen for anyone.
Night Sky nodded. )
I'm glad for that, at least. I can't imagine people would be too vocal about it - although they sure are to certain people. ( Said with a touch of anger in her voice that she quickly shook away. )
We'll make sure it doesn't happen. That we're all - acting rationally, or something.
[She knows it's a bit idealistic, but whatever. It's just Vash rubbing off on her all over again, or something.]
In any case, I'm not going anywhere tonight. There's no way I'm leaving my girlfriend after she's had such a horrible time. [She nudges Night Sky playfully.]
( Night Sky had almost asked her to stay, but didn't want to impose. It was bad enough she had called the poor woman here to comfort her when she had clearly been planning to rest and relax. )
You're too good to me. ( she leaned in then, pressing her lips firmly to Meryl's and yet not trying for much beyond that. She just wanted to kiss her, to feel the soft brush of her lips against her own. The dryad sighed as she pulled back. ) I have somewhere warmer we can stay, with a bed and everything. ( a laugh. ) We'll have to get up though.
[It might have delayed the resting and relaxing, but clearly Meryl isn't bothered by that. The only thing that does bother her is the idea of having to get up. She clearly grapples with this for a moment, before finally stretching out and forcing her body to uncurl from their little vantage point.]
( Equally as reluctant, the dryad unwound herself from around Meryl and stood, taking her hand to lead her to a rather unassuming spot in the corner of the garden. She pulled open a hatch half hidden by greenery, revealing a set of stone steps leading down into an underground room. )
Nice, right? Red Son got it for me - made most of the stuff in it, too. ( she motioned toward the bed. ) Make yourself comfortable, love. Promise not to get too handsy tonight. ( She, weirdly, wasn't much in the mood.)
[Hardly weird, when Night Sky has all but bared her soul. She makes her way down the stairs and looks around. It's very comfortable, every bit the image of what she would have expected of Night Sky.
The bed is plopped down onto, but she doesn't get too comfortable yet. Her arms open for Night Sky.]
( She wouldn't have to tell her twice. Night Sky turned the lights down to a dim glow and headed toward the bed, blankets tugged up and over them both as she snuggled into Meryl's waiting arms, head on her chest and tilted so she didn't gore her with her antlers. ) Thank you again, my love. You have eased my mind more than you know.

I should probably let you get back home, huh?

Don't keep me waiting. Come here.

[She angles her head, chin coming to rest within Night Sky's hair. No need for antler harm here.]
It will be okay, I promise.
[There isn't much she can do, but anything she can, she'll put her all into.]
