[that actually evokes a chuckle, and a small squeeze to that arm. being able to focus on someone else - however minor their 'problem' is - gives him a bit more steadiness]

Fine. I'm going to rest, then, and if you want to make sure I don't risk ruining your hard work by rolling on to my back, it might be a good idea for you to stay here for a few minutes.

[itistolaugh]

Are you holding yourself hostage-- [ she holds back another yawn ] -- to get me to sleep with you? That's dirty pool, Robert.

[pushtheboundaries]

You can get up at any time, if you want to trade places with a pillow.

[itistolaugh]

[ She snuggles up against him and slides an arm over his side ]

Nooo, 'm staying! I'll be good!

[pushtheboundaries]

See? No hostages involved. [just him shifting slightly to get more comfortable. it's...strange, holding someone like this again, but he'll take it as long as she'll give it.] If threat of a pillow's all that's needed to make you behave, though, maybe I should start carrying one around.

It is nowhere near that easy.

[ She smiles a little and, almost as if to demonstrate her point, she moves her arm lower to rest on his hip. If that puts her hand over his butt, so be it. ]

[pushtheboundaries]

[aaaaand there it goes. Robert doesn't twitch, but he does have a wry little smile on his face, arching his brow at her as he runs his thumb down her arm]

You got my hopes up for a moment. Now I'm wondering about ulterior motives.

[itistolaugh]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[ She tries to say it with a straight face but her lips pull up at the corners. Terrible little liar. She isn't removing her hand but at least she isn't moving it either. Ulterior motives have taken a backseat to the increasingly appealing naptime. ]

[pushtheboundaries]

Sure, sure. [he gives her another nuzzle, sighing with a smile] I'm going to close my eyes now, troublemaker.

[itistolaugh]

[ She could do a lot of things. Point out that of the two of them, she isn't the one on the run with second degree burns so who's the troublemaker now.

Could play the part he's cast her in. Take advantage. Sneak a kiss. There are a lot of options available.

But this is enough. This, right here, exactly as they are. It's ... It's good. And she's so tired.

Sleep safe, Callaghan. ]
