Loki had been a still sleep companion, a cool bed parner for her overheated body. She almost had the notion that he watched her sleep more than do any himself. Though these past few days he was in someone else's body.... He thrashed rather viciously and it roused her from her sleep. Pushing a hand through her mussed hair, she slowly sat up. He was still asleep. And though it would be uncomfortable, perhaps he would be comforted by her warmth.

Shannon dragged up the covers, she knew she had to be the one to shove them down, and eased herself closer to him. Sliding her arm around his waist she found him bathed with sweat. At the same time a distressed murmur reached her ears.

She didn't know what he dreamed of, but she'd never heard him speak in his sleep. Very gently she pressed her lips to his bare shoulder. Not at all distressed that he didn't look like himself. And knowing as soon as the air conditioner kicked on that it would no doubt chill him, she tucked the covers tighter around him. Whispering softly, in effort not to wake him, but to perhaps change his dream just a little... "It's alright. I am here my king. No one will harm you." A little bit of smoke escaped her nose, just enough so that he would smell it.

	He raised his eyebrow at the comment. It was not the first hot drink he had had since his physical change. He knew well what lay ahead. Yet, he played along and feigned the ignorant. He took a sip. "Ah, now, I have been missing out all my life it seems." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, I wouldn't go that far. At least not with tea. Coffee? Hot Cocoa? Yes. that is an experience." She didn't know if he was simply placating her or if it was truth. Often It was hard to tell with him. "But if you drink it it will help your hurts. And if you come back to bed with me I will massage them if you like." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The good chucked softly. "You have always known how to tempt me to bed," he said. His muscles were certainly sore. And with this body, a lot less pressure was needed to soften it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Shannon chuckled with him. "It's not always easy. You're very stubborn. Sometimes I have to pull out the 'big guns'." She also knew he would regret it later on in the morning when his energy was waning and he wasn't ready to give in to it. "But I have some mint liniment oil that I can use on your borrowed body, that wouldn't affect your true one." And it smelled nice.

	"I do my very best," he said in response as he sipped once more on the tea. It was starting to grow a little colder. "As I doubt you would find appeal in easy. Or am I wrong?" A smile curled up his lips. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You are not wrong." Thought she did like the occasional easy battles. Like this one. "If I wanted easy I would still be in my apartment being a recluse." Thought she did sometimes miss closing herself away with a book, and not coming out until she was done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Loki chuckled. He found the thought of her being any more of a recluse hard. Neither of them strove for friendships but Shannon looked like a turtle trying to crawl back into her shell whenever she was faced with human contact.

"Ah, but you would miss out on all the shouting and screeching over there..." he commented. People in this house tended to be loud. Another reason why he begrudged sleeping through the beautiful early morning hours when everyone was still asleep.

"Ah, very true. And I do adore the children." Even if she didn't spend every moment with them she did enjoy the time she spent with Lucy, Bill, and Suzume. And she was glad to be so close with Katherine.

Her thought process was clear on her face. The little smile that played over her lips. "I'm okay with you and Katherine exposing me to the finer reasons of being social. I can understand the importance of it." To them, at least.
