Mmm, you should probably start wearing thicker clothes, shrewlet. [He rubs her arm, trying to rub warmth into her limb.]

"I can think of a million ways your time would be better used, but I appreciate the company." He slowly makes his way towards his resting place, gently withdrawing from her before he stumbles and lets himself fall to the bed. He groans as he rolls over onto his back.

"Thank you, Riley. It means a lot to me."

Halsin looks to her, studying her for a moment. "You don't think ill of me for abandoning them?"

[He holds her close and tries to warm her with his own body heat.] I am sure I have some furs you can have. They'll do in a pinch.

"I appreciate your perspective. It does ease my heart a bit."

[He gives her a playful smirk.] Oh? Have I caught your fancy, Briar?

I try not to be presumptuous. I've gotten it wrong before.

Yes, this is true. But kissing doesn't always mean having inclinations towards a person. I am flattered and quite pleased that you fancy me, shrewlet.

[There is tenderness in his eyes and he lifts an arm to wrap around her.] As it turns out... I like you a lot, too.

[He kisses her forehead, smiling down at her.] I suppose that makes you lucky, then.

Would you like then fashioned into something wearable or just something to cover yourself with?

"I think you'd have been a good choice, too. You have a calming energy about you that would lend to easing tense situations."

"Watch them for a few hours and if they seem to be walking well enough, we can return them to nature." He smiled at her, though he looked a bit tired in the eyes.

"I'm glad you had a good time. It's been quite a while since I've been to a performance. It's good to know they still have such interesting stories."

He chuckled and held her close. "Yes, I suppose they do."

If it please you. Do you want them now, or are you content for the moment? [He rubs her back gently.]

So many would disagree with you. But it lightens my heart to know you view me so fondly.

|| I know I've been away for a while. Life is... getting a bit rough for me, so I was trying to cut some of the sources of ick for myself. That being said, I think I'm done here. It just feels like another place to be excluded. DM me if you'd like my disc, but I'm out, sorry
