I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE /so dead tired angha_firebird October 1 2011, 10:45:28 UTC

She smiles at that, a feeling of calm and peace settling over her. The only truth in Aara's mind at that moment was that she had at least one good friend she could count on. She wanted Xanth to be able to count on her as well. So long as both of them wished for this friendship, nothing could possibly go wrong ( ... )

Aara quickly pulls her hand away when his eyes blink open, staring in slight horror. Maybe she did something wrong? She certainly hadn't wished to disturb his rest, after all. Making a mental note to not touch him, Aara rapidly shakes her head as she tries to get her lungs to allow air once more.

"Ah...no. I... apologize."

She presses her lips together awkwardly, afraid to say more, and moves down the length of the bed to place more distance between them so he can sleep. Then she wonders. Maybe, if she was to protect him, she shouldn't be sitting anyway?

"Is...is the door locked?"

Xanth bites his lip, feeling a spike of guilt. Aara looked so alarmed and that made Xanth wonder - did he scare her? He had no idea why he would, but she was always, always so skittish.

Perhaps she'd come from a place like Xanth did. That would explain things...

At her question, Xanth squeezes his eyes closed, face scrunched in through. "Um..." Truly, he didn't remember whether he'd locked it or not; he'd been caught up in making sure Aara got inside. It was a habit to lock it, of course, but did he even get a moment to?

"I-I don't-- I don't know," he admits, and then he reaches down into his pants pocket. After a moment, he produces the key to his room and offers it to Aara. "H-Here. If-- i-if you-- if you want to l-lock it."

Relaxing as Xanth offers her the key, Aara accepts it with both hands and a light smile.

"I'll check. You just try to clear your mind so you can sleep."

She moves to the door, forgetting there was still a blanket around her shoulders and quickly grasping both ends before it fell to the floor. She was still pretty cold, after all. She makes her way quietly to the door, inserting the key and making sure the door was indeed locked. Then she turns and glances around the room, wondering how best to protect Xanth while enabling him to get as much sleep as he needed. She moves to the chair and Xanth's desk and sits, wrapping the blanket securely around herself, smiling gently as she burrows into the warmth.

She will watch over Xanth from here. She would have preferred staying by the door, but Xanth may not have liked that.

"Sleep well, Xanth."

Xanth shifts to lie on his back, watching Aara as she goes to lock the door, and eventually as she sits. He's glad she's taking a seat, even if not on the bed; standing by the door for however long he laid in bed would have been so uncomfortable.

"Th-thanks," he nearly whispers back, smiling. Then, closing his eyes, he rolls onto his side once more and burrows down into his covers.

Sleep won't come for a long time yet, but for the first time in days, Xanth relaxes.
