They were both blushing. Well that didn't take very long, did it? It seemed like they both blushed too much around each other. "I don't think I'd very much like to be tied down anymore," she said more than a bit sadly. Yeah, just thinking about it made her want to cry and crawl under the bed. "At least you don't think I'm a total pervert.." she shook her head a little and blushed just a bit more.
It was true that she could no more stop feeling that way than he could stop worrying about her either. "I just want you to be safe, and you're not safe around me. Though I suppose you're not safe anymore by yourself either." They had all gone and come in after her, and risked everything. "I just want.. if you're entirely sure you want that risk, to have me stay with you, I'd like that. I don't want to be alone." Not at all. "Thank you." Once he sat beside her, she leaned over and kissed his cheek, even if it hurt.
