Tommy had spent the entire night outside, tracking and hunting down a creature for a contract someone had offered him. So by the time he got back to Rette’s hut he was covered in dirt (it had involved crawling into a damn cave), hair full of leaves and little branches, and beyond exhausted. So it came as no surprise that, as soon as he sat down on that incredibly comfortable couch after taking a bath, he unintentionally fell asleep. And he stayed asleep for several hours as well, at least until some bird screaming in the distance woke him up. The first thing he noticed was that he was no longer sitting, but laying down, and the second thing he noticed was a head full of red hair close by. Rette. He was just about to say something when he noticed her slow and even breathing, indicating that she had apparently fallen asleep as well. In a far more uncomfortable position, but.. He’d had worse.
Slowly, one hand reached out and he let his fingers comb gently through her slightly disheveled hair. Then his fingertips brushed along her warm cheek, before he dropped his hand again with a soft sigh. She looked peaceful. At ease, and unbothered by anything. It suited her. And it looked so much better than that worried expression her face would usually carry when looking at him. If only she could look at him without that worry. If only.
