As she peered out at the flickering gleams of lights in the distance, contrasting with the dark backdrop of the forest, Amelia could honestly say she didn't envy those people who must have been trying to get back to their villages for the night. The rain had never stopped all day, and now as darkness fell, the stormy clouds above had prevented even

"Oh I'll get those, don't worry." she replied, trying not to let the blush she could feel rising in her cheeks take over her entire complexion as she approached. Avoiding glancing at anything she deemed inappropriate, she quickly took the wet clothes and offered a nightdress she had found and believed to be of suitable size. With that, she walked past with an embarrassed smile, heading for the door. "I'll hang these by the main fire, so they should be ready for you to wear in the morning. I guess you'll want to rest huh? So if you don't need anything else, I'll let you turn in for the night."

"Don't go," she said, quiet but stern. Her head was lowered, eyes staring at the floor. "I'm not tired." It wasn't a total lie. her body was sore from travel, but her mind was too busy to fall asleep, especially with the storm outside. "Stay with me." She paused, lifting her head a little. "Please."

"Well, if you're sure..." she nodded slowly, turning back to fully face her guest. "Do you want to do anything, or just talk?" she enquired. It made little difference to Amelia, but if the other girl wanted her to stay, they surely couldn't just sit in awkward silence the entire time.

"I'm sure," she said, a bit more confident. If she was bothered by Amelia seeing her with nothing but a towel around her neck, she didn't show it at all. In fact she walked closer, hips swaying slightly as she moved. When she was standing right before the young cleric, she reached out and leaned in slowly as if to kiss her, but there was a flicker of red in her eyes, and she broke off to instead wrap her arms around and hug Amelia. "I don't know what I want to do, but I want to do it with you. I don't like this feeling I get when no one's around."

That being said, the close proximity had her freeze in shock, blush already heating up in her cheeks from the movement of Black Lady's body, nevermind the apparent incoming kiss. It had her entranced, and it took a moment after she was embraced before she realized what had occurred. Once she had though, she was swift in wrapping her own arms around the taller girl's frame. "It's okay. I'm not going anywhere. You don't have to be alone now." she tried to reassure her companion, rubbing her back in a comforting manner, doing her best not to be distracted by the amount of exposed skin she risked touching.

But there was something else, something lighter struggling to gain hold. That part of her had settled on hugging Amelia, and she didn't care that she was wearing absolutely nothing. "Thank you," she whispered, sliding her hand up Amelia's back. She couldn't help but wonder what the young cleric would think if she knew what she was thinking. The touch to her own back felt good, really good, and because of that she moaned softly. "What were you thinking just a moment ago?"

Still a bit dazed and unsure, she continued to do what she was doing, offering all the comfort and reassurance she could at that moment. Sure the lack of clothing her guest had on was a touch distracting, but the healer knew this was not the time to fret over her own embarrassment. Perhaps it was that, combined with her unwavering honesty, that compelled the princess to let the young woman speak and touch her, before giving a truthful answer to her question. "Thst I wanted to help, if that was possible."

A particularly loud bit of thunder startled her enough that she tightened her hold on Amelia, closing her eyes quickly. "Help me?" She asked quietly, her voice almost trembling. Clerics could probably do magical things, but she got the feeling this one couldn't control weather. Black Lady eased up, putting a few inches between them with her hands on Amelia's shoulders. "Anything at all?"

For now, she didn't think on her personal impact in the situation. Instead she focused on just doing what she could in the moment, letting herself be held and offering comfort to the other girl. "Well yes, if it's something I'd be able to do, then I'd happily try and help you." she answered, staring back at Black Lady with an honest and sincere expression on her features.

Black Lady slid her fingers slowly along Amelia's neck, rising up beneath her ear before cupping her cheek against her palm. What she wanted was still unclear to her, but she knew she wanted to be close to someone. Notions were confused, impulses easily rising to the surface. She leaned in close, brushing her lips over Amelia's other cheek. "I want you to stay here, in this room, with me," she whispered, turning her head so their cheeks touched. "The bed is big enough for two."

There were plenty of things she could have said, like asking that in staying in the room, if it was truly necessary to share a bed. She could just as easily have taken up the floor or a chair after all. However, none of that was able escape her throat, as the lingering touch to her face seemed to make any coherant speech impossible. All Amelia could do in response to the request was nod, cheeks bright pink as she stared back at the other girl's face.

Sleeping on the floor was out of the question. She still had memories, mixed up as they were, of her time as a young child living on her own, sleeping anywhere that seemed dark and not prone to being disturbed. Then she was suddenly living in a castle, sleeping in a big bed. No one would be sleeping on the floor, and since there was only one bed, the decision made itself.
Black Lady shifted slowly, maximizing the contact between their cheeks until her lips touched the warm skin. She wasn't aware how affectionate her actions might have seemed, only that it felt like a nice thing to do. Other things were beginning to fit that bill, things she hadn't thought about until the last few weeks, but they were making her blush. What would a temple maiden think of those sort of things, she wondered. It was tempting, to find out, but she also didn't want to make Amelia run away.
"You shouldn't wear this to bed," she said quietly, inching back slowly. Her fingers worked their way over Amelia's clothes, starting to undress her. She could still pass it off as necessary. "Do I make you nervous?"

She just counted her blessing that the bed was big; enough room so they were not cramped together, which would only increase the awkwardness of the situation. Still, it seemed she was not in the clear as of yet, feeling the others cheek and lips against her skin, earning a shiver. Whether it was out of nervousness or something else, she had no idea, and found it hard to contemplate at that moment anyway.
"Um..." she tried to think of a response to give, not really able to lie but not wanting to hurt the girl's feelings either. Fortunately the matter of undressing, and the realisation of her guest attempting to remove her clothes was an ample distraction for the moment. "W-Well, I'll just get something and change, you don't need to fuss over me, I can manage." she tried to insist.
