...Would you prefer if I stayed with you?

[He'd feel bad about inviting people over and then not being there, but on the other hand, Aliza.]

[sangreine]

I couldn't ask you to do that. Just so long as you're not leaving me alone for the whole night.

[happydreamed]

I promise I will always return to your side, my dear.

[Smooches her cheek.]

[sangreine]

[ She smiles, but it's small and fleeting. Not his fault, her mood is just way down. ]

Can you slip away for a few minutes, at least? I won't hog all your time, I promise.

[happydreamed]

I can certainly promise you that.

[Gentle squeeze.]

[sangreine]

Thank you. [ Perhaps it's juvenile to be afraid to be alone right now; she doesn't especially care if it is. ]

Do you need a few more minutes, or...?

[happydreamed]

Not at all. Let us retire, my dear.

[snuggling is needed and imminent.]

[sangreine]

Mm, good.

[ And this thread can end now for game stuff but for the record there's going to be a fair bit of crying as soon as the door shuts and until she actually falls asleep. Fun stuff! ]
