Every time they shared a small gesture of simple intimacy like this, he fell a little deeper. There was a genuine caring to it, affection that ran far deeper than it should have for so brief as their time had been. If Diana could feel Thor's pulse, she would have certainly felt it quicken with every move she made. As new as this was, it wracked his nerves and made him anxious, albeit in a constructive way.
"It's like you told me once." He began to say, smiling warmly at her. "You've earned your happiness. You're strong, caring, and dedicated. You should let yourself be happy and feel appreciated."
He lost her for a moment and when she came back, asking after breakfast, his ears perked up because of course they did. "No. I came straight here this morning. And you?" Again, simple caring disguised as a general question.
