Re: R1
She couldn't hide the smile when he so blatantly demanded chin scratching without saying nary a word, and she obliged him. "You will get spoiled," she told him, though there was only growing fondness in the words. "I do not think I'm supposed to stay here so willingly," she admitted, feeling a touch of guilt at the memory of her father. Perhaps he would let her visit him. But, honestly, she knew her time was limited here, and any time away was time wasted, which she also (somehow) knew was not right. "I think we're supposed to have more time," she said thoughtfully, turning her attention back to Ella and the sister. "If she goes with her, do you think I will also go?" she asked, and the fear was very obvious in her voice then, her fingers stilling beneath his chin.
