@motherlynymph said: she wraps an arm around his own, idly standing there in his space but not to be invasive, no, she merely seeks his company if he'll allow it. after all, her arm is loose enough for him to pull away if he so wished.
There was no resistance at least, even if the armor itself he assumed would be cold to touch but she generally found warmth in it with ease. They were alone for now, the maiden playing with the young viera boy that she had brought with her. He did not dare move much less shift away from her whenever such moments were a rarity in itself. It almost made what he thought was his blackening heart pound being so close, but it left a question in mind. “Went searching for us?” Given that it was on short notice the two children wished to leave their ‘home’ for now to wander about the streets under his careful eye while the boys mother slept. He only in the dark knight’s case chose to not wake her because she seemed more tired than usual.
