~~~ "That's true," Rez agreed, a smirk forming upon his lips. "My thighs are startin' to go a little numb from the weight." He exhaled a soft laugh and then tucked a strand of hair behind her ear once more. He looked like there was something he was gonna say, something he wanted to say, but he just smiled. "Lead the way, hot stuff." He paused and then added, "Or do you need another piggyback ride?" ~~~ River just rolled her eyes at him and then smiled when he tucked the hair behind her ear. She tilted her head slightly because he was going to say something but he didn't. Okaaay he will say at some point, River told herself and then started to get up off his lap. "No I think I want to try walking, just make sure I don't fall." She flashed a smile at him and then slowly, made her way down the hall, her hand on the wall the whole way for support. River was weak but she was still incredibly stubborn so sometimes she had to prove to herself she could still do things. Once in the bedroom she climbed on the bed and started to wiggle out of the pajama pants, leaving her in just the lace panties and tank top. "I can't sleep with pants on." River gave in explanation. ~~~ "Okay," He said with a smile. "No worries. I won't let you fall." And he was true to his word, following behind her down the hall, as slow as she needed to go, a hand resting upon her back for support or just so she would know he was there. He quirked a brow slightly when she started taking her pants off and then grinned. "And here I thought you were just tryin' to seduce me." He slipped his own jeans off, kicking off his shoes, leaving him in just his boxers. He flipped the light off and then moved over to the bed, climbing beneath the covers, scooting in close. ~~~ "I know." She said quietly as they made their way down the hall, and into the bedroom. Not for one second did River think Rez would allow her to fall, it just wouldn't have happened. She grinned at his expression and then shrugged. "If I was trying to seduce you I would have done a better job of it." She immediately squirmed in closer to him and pressed herself in tight. River ran her fingers over his back, resting her head on his chest, soothing herself with his heartbeat.
