non-verbal actions : accepting. @okoden : tucks a blanket gently around mikasa's shoulders.
mikasa is grateful for the opportunity to tag along on tour despite how apprehensive she can't help but feel being this far from home for the first time in her life. tonight isn't the first time she's struggled to find peaceful rest and wound up on a lumpy couch instead, stuck watching what seems like an endless loop of some shitty infomercial on the hotel television. her eyes are exhausted, but her mind is moving a mile a minute, quietly pondering over ways to make a foreign place feel comfortable enough to rest. her ears register the sound of approaching footsteps, but it does little to pull her away from her racing mind until her shoulders are gently enveloped in a comforting warmth, as if wordlessly attempting to comfort and quell her anxieties. it works, at least a little, prompting mikasa to blink out of her trance and glance over her shoulder to see julian standing behind the couch. ❝ ...i thought you said you were going to bed. so what you just randomly decided to be nosy instead? ❞ a classic deflection while she moves over just enough to make space for him to join her, tugging the blanket tighter around her frame.
