No Man's Land (Private)

[Muffinsquire]

"I'm glad you get to stay another day," Danny told her after a while, not caring for the silence too much. It seemed more tense than peaceful, although he couldn't tell why. "The reasons, ain't as good, but I'm still glad you're staying. I just hope you don't get in trouble."
He nuzzled his nose against the top of her head as he sighed casually.

"I hope I don't get in trouble as well," Sera whispered. "But I don't really have a choice. I need to take Fidel with me, but I won't let him travel in the condition he's in."
She sighed lightly as she curled up to herself a little more, bringing her feet up in the swing as she curled her knees toward her chest.

[Muffinsquire]

"I think it was a wise decision," Danny assured her. "And I'm sure he'll be alright. Dr. Cunnin'ham said the wounds weren't very deep. He just needed some proper carin' and rest." He kissed her forehead and patted her shoulder in comfort. "We'll go heck on'em in the mornin' and I'm sure he should be right as rain."

[WolfumsTheGreat]

"I called up my boss and told him to expect me in three more days," she told Danny. "I didn't want to make Fidel travel the day after he got well. I figured giving him two days rest would be better than one," she said, not really picking up on the fact that he had kissed her forehead.

[Muffinsquire]

"Well, either way I'm sure he'll make a quick recovery," Danny answered, moving a hand to brush his fingers through her hair. He had never noticed just how soft and sleek it was until he had done so. "Have you ever grown your hair out long," he asked curiously, wondering what she might look like with really long hair.

[WolfumsTheGreat]

Sera nodded her head.
"I used to always keep it long until I started my job and was required to cut it because it was a hazard," she spoke and then turn her head toward him to see him better. "Then my new job said it would be good for my image to keep it short."
She moved to run her fingers through it herself, leaning a little away from Danny in order to do so.

[Muffinsquire]

"I see," Danny replied as he moved his hand to let her do what she wanted. He supposed she didn't like him touching her hair so he stopped and instead he moved his arms down around her waist. "Now don't you go gettin' too much into that 'image' malarkey. If people can't appreciate the real you then what is there to appreciate?"

[WolfumsTheGreat]

Sera looked back up at Danny a moment, wondering why he had stopped.
"I won't... at least I'll try not to..." she promised him. But after a small moment of silence, she spoke again.
"Would you touch my hair once more?" she asked. "I... liked that."

[Muffinsquire]

"Oh, alright," Danny replied with a shrug as he raised one hand to play with her hair once more. "I thought you was makin' me stop a moment ago, which was why I did....It's really soft," he pointed out and smiled.
After a moment he leaned his head against hers once more although he continued to comb his fingers through her hair.

[WolfumsTheGreat]

Sera shook her head with a small 'uh uh' in answer to him.
"I'm glad you like it," she whispered as she let her head touch his. He was comfortable to lean on because he had so much muscle and he wasn't all that bony.

[Muffinsquire]

Danny was quite sure after a while that he might could just fall to sleep in this position, that is if he was sure he wouldn't get a cramp in his neck from it leaning so far after a while. He was quite content, though. He hummed softly and caressed his thumb over Sera's stomach where his other hand was. He enjoyed feeling his hand against her skin, soft and sultry.
But he tried to keep his mind from wandering too far, wanting to respect her dignity.

[WolfumsTheGreat]

Sera smiled softly to herself and after a little while, she placed her hand over his upon her stomach. BUt she smiled to him, letting him know that his actions where okay. But she gently caressed the back of his hand for a few moments before letting her hand fall into her lap as they sat there. She knew it was getting later, but she was willing to sit there as long as she possibly could with Danny.

[Muffinsquire]

They remained in the swing together until Danny realized he really was about to fall to sleep in a few minutes and decided that sleeping like this in the swing may not have been the most comfortable of positions. Finally he stretched out his arms and legs and gave a great yawn.
"I think it's 'bout time we headed up to bed," he said. "I don't know about you but I think I almost fell to sleep a couple of times in the past ten minutes." He chuckled.

[WolfumsTheGreat]

Sera nodded her head as well.
"Yes, sleep does seem very inviting," she agreed with him. She got up off the swing and pulled her shirt down a little more since it had been pulled up by Danny's hand. Then she took the blanket and went ahead and folded it before handing it to Danny.
She sipped at little more at her drinke before picking it up to take it back to the kitchen.

[Muffinsquire]

Danny took the blanket and his glass as well, gulping down the rest of it before standing up. Upon standing to his feet, he stretched and yawned again, as if trying to keep himself away so he could make it up the stairs to his room.
"It sure does," he agreed with her before they both stepped inside to put their things away.
