...That's not what I asked, Rohan.

[She draws back a little, only just far enough that she can look him in the eyes — and still close enough that he has to look at her, too, because there's no room to look away.]

I know I can. I know you'd never turn me away. But what I asked is, do you want me to stay.

[penpoint]

Yes.

[ Actually it was really easy. Why did -- he didn't want it to seem like he was being too needy or desperate for attention, even though he is. Or desperate for attention. Yeah. He'd have Reimi stay here all the time, but he also hadn't suggested it quite yet. ]

Stay here, Reimi. That's what I want.

[ Don't be difficult, Rohan. ]

[doreimi]

Then I will.

[That wasn't so hard, was it?, she almost adds, but holds back. There's a limit to how far she's willing to push, especially on a night like this, and that feels like too much. She glances away instead, a brisk flick and lowering of her eyes, before slowly looking back at him.]

You can watch out for me tonight. As much as you want. I'll feel better, knowing that you're close by.

[penpoint]

[ He doesn't know that he'd be able to sleep tonight if he wanted to. He was drained, but not tired. It was an odd alertness that was lingering over him. He didn't say it, though. He didn't want her to worry about the total lack of sleep he'd inevitably get. Besides, it's not like he slept regularly before coming here. ]

I'll watch out for you.

[ He doesn't think he has anything to worry about here, in his apartment. But it will still help him feel better. ]

Tonight. You'll stay safe.

[ Not just tonight, either. At the very least, there's no need to explain how easy it is for him to do it. ]

No one, and nothing, can get you in here.

[ And there's that confidence. ]

[doreimi]

[She nods, silent, and as she ducks her head a few stray locks of hair fall over her eyes, halfway obscuring her features; lost in thought, she makes no move to brush them away. It'll be easier to relax knowing that Rohan will be close by. She'll be able to let down her guard a little, and release some of the vigilant tension she might otherwise have had to keep up if she'd gone home alone. And if something happens again, he'll be there. It's for the best that she stays, of course it is.

He thought she died again tonight. He thought she died, and it scared him.]

...Thanks for finding me, Rohan.

[She whispers, and doesn't know if she means tonight, or back in Morioh, or always.]

[penpoint]

[ Yeah. It's really lucky, and he knows it. Both hands move, reaching to grip either of her cheeks and he leans in, resting his forehead against hers. He'll feel so much better knowing she's safe and close and that he can protect her. He can do what he has to in order to protect her. There's no one else he would do this for. There's no one he values like her.

He told her -- Well, since he has her here. ]

It's good I did.

[ If he used those words to other people, it might sound like he was scolding them, but it didn't worth her. There's a deep breath. ]

There's no one more important to me than you are. Of course I'll find you.
