In many ways, she wasn’t thinking… but that was a good thing. Her mind had faded off of the events of earlier in the day, which had been the goal in seeking him out to begin with. He simply knew how to bring her to peace, to comfort as he had been doing… he’d assured her, and she felt… relaxed. Tiredness had pulled at her, but emotional outbreaks could do that to a wolf, combined with the physical intensity of the spar… it was a lot.
 
In her mind, she truthfully did not know what he was going for. As a healer, she likely would have known what it could all lead to, and the consequences of their actions if they were to act in any way as the Matrona and Imperator had final say about such actions… it was he who broke the silence, pausing as she pulled back to turn her head and look at him… listening as he tried to ramble on… this. She wanted this too, so why was he stopping?
 
The words crashed over her, and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes, but a nod as she moved her head back against him, not willing to push it more… she wanted this, but she did understand. “I understand… and I want this too.” She whispered softly to make her intentions clear so he didn’t have time to second guess his temporary rejection. His simple touch would do if it was all he could give her without sacrificing his own integrity or morals. A knight, a gentleman, truly. “C-can I stay here tonight… please?” She asked softly, finally, knowing it would help ease her to sleep to know he was right beside her, even if nothing further happened… the nights she tucked herself away in the tablinum, alone and exhausted from her day’s adventures never brought her the peace of mind she found there.
