[ Apparently satisfied with his answer she leaned in and kissed him quickly before pulling away and taking his hand instead so they could start walking and get away from the farmhouse. It was worse than she remembered, and wanting to get him back to his room and resting again was far more important than how much she wanted to hug him.
At least for now. ]
You know I think we're even for a while. No more scaring the other to death for a bit okay?
[Eleven glances over to her with raised brows. They haven't done anything 'fun' for some time now, but there's been quite a lot to deal with. He huffs a laugh, then looks back ahead with a smile and squeezes her hand]
[He shakes his head through a bout of amusement. He's used to being fussed over; his mum, companions, then Archeval- now Lily]
I've only left my room the once so far for a meal. Well, twice now, I suppose. You won't have to worry much. My boldest intention is to make use of the forges for a few days once I've finished recovering.
Will you stay in touch with me when you go? So I know you're alright?
[ It was a bit more than she usually asked for, but after temporarily losing first herself to the Beastmaster and then him, she was a little overwrought. The idea of losing El was one she would rather not have to entertain again for a while. ]
I'll try to keep you posted on what's happening in Taravast too. Though I'm sure you know none of it will be good.
[He returns her smile, content as they walk until the last leg of it when tiredness begins to catch up with him. It feels a little ridiculous; he's hardly done anything more than walk for a little while- and yes, used some healing magic- but he hums shortly as they quietly enter the city and leads them toward the inn. He's ready for a nice lie down and if he can do so with Lily, he isn't going to complain overmuch]
..The mood has calmed and lightened somewhat since we left, but it isn't a bright city.
[ It had not been safe to travel to Sa-Hareth when Lily arrived in the forest by the farmhouse, and though she looked around curiously as Eleven led the way towards the inn, she didn't think she missed all that much.
Though, it wasn't difficult to believe their group found interesting ways to pass the time. ]
[Barring Anurr showing himself for an unfathomable reason..
But it means something that the innkeeper can smile at him as he returns indoors. Eleven nods in turn and tries not to feel self-conscious about leading a woman he hadn't been seen with before up the stairs and into his room.
The space is smaller than the room he'd had in Vannozza's wing, but it's outfitted with a bed, desk, hearth, and mirror- upscale by Sa-Hareth's standards. It's cozier with less wasted space, so it isn't as though he minds terribly]
You can pull the chair out to sit in front of the fire if you like.
[The unspoken alternative of course, as he sets about unbuckling his coat to hang up then sits to pull off his shoes, is to join him in bed]
[ Doing her best not to look too worried about him being safe in Sa-Hareth Lily followed Eleven up to his room. It was a relief to see his room looking as comfortable as it did - part of her still pictured the Spartan conditions of the farmhouse.
The offer of the chair drew a skeptical look from Lily, as she clocked her head at El, her eyes narrowed playfully. ]

I'll endeavour not to. [He's worried about Taravast, but at least while it isn't safe to return to the city, there isn't much he can try to do]
I'm working to avoid Anurr's notice, so I won't be causing trouble here at least.
no subject
Date: 2021-12-01 05:11 am (UTC)Good, otherwise I'll have to pack a bag and stay just to keep an eye on you. [ Lily looked at him sideways, cocking her head to the side. ]
We wouldn't even do anything fun.
[ This is a threat. ]
no subject
Date: 2021-12-01 05:19 am (UTC)As if I wouldn't enjoy your company anyway.
no subject
Date: 2021-12-01 05:29 am (UTC)[ Lily brought her other hand around to give his arm a little squeeze. ]
Though, truthfully love I intend to do just that once we're back to where you're staying.

Date: 2021-12-01 05:57 am (UTC)Perhaps we should stay together. I think we'd both feel better that way. Though, there wouldn't be much for you to do, here..
no subject
Date: 2021-12-01 06:04 am (UTC)There's keeping an eye on you, for one. Though, I've got too much to do, however hostile it's getting.
[ She turned her head and smirked at him. ]
I could apparate into bed every night and startle you?
no subject
Date: 2021-12-01 06:08 am (UTC)If you'd like. I'd hardly argue.
no subject
Date: 2021-12-01 06:23 am (UTC)[ She shrugged. Lily had gotten used to sharing a bed with him. Without him it just felt wrong. ]
no subject

no subject
Date: 2021-12-01 06:32 am (UTC)Of course I do. Who wouldn't want to sleep next to someone they care about as often as they can?
no subject
Date: 2021-12-01 06:41 am (UTC)[ Not that she wasn't going to already. ]
Besides, everything feels like it's a manageable level of utterly batshite daft when you're with me.

You don't want the job of warming me up yourself?
no subject
Date: 2021-12-02 09:29 pm (UTC)I did learn a nice body heat trick from Zuko..

Date: 2021-12-02 09:44 pm (UTC)[ She stayed where she was, crossing her arms and trying not to look amused. ]
no subject
Date: 2021-12-02 10:03 pm (UTC)Nothing like that. Just teaching me how to keep warm with my own energy.
no subject
Date: 2021-12-02 11:53 pm (UTC)[ And, after a moment of consideration, just to be the slightest bit difficult - she sat down in that offered chair. ]
