Wolfwood watched her watching him, a slight smile curving his lips. He kept forgetting how naive Menolly was but whenever he was reminded of it, he always thought her innocence cute. And he intended to keep her innocent for awhile yet. It'd be too easy to take advantage of her. "It doesn't..bother me. Soo if you want to, you're welcome to it."

Menolly was delighted that Wolfwood did not mind and would allow her to sleep with him. This meant she would get a good restful night's sleep and would be able to be around Wolfwood more. "Thank you," her voice has as much happiness in it as gratitude. He was so thoughtful, remembering how she liked to be held and taking care of her.
Gazing up at him fondly, she asks, "Do you think that the water will be warm tomorrow, too?" She still wanted, somewhere deep in her mind, to go to the water. It slipped her mind before, but maybe they could go tomorrow? It might not be too late to day, but again she did not desire to move besides to go to sleep.

"You're welcome," Wolfwood said, smiling sheepishly. Who knew offering to let her sleep with him would make her so happy? It took him a second to realize Menolly had asked him a question. "I'd say: yes. The weather has been warm lately," he finally answered her, holding her gaze.

Menolly let out a small, "yay" at the news that the water might be warm. After that, it was kind of hard to think, her eyes were looking into his. She almost felt like she was getting lost in his enchanting eyes.

Wolfwood chuckled at her little exclamation, amused by her enthusiasm. He kept his eyes trained on hers and smirked a little when she started to look a little vacant. "Menolly? You okay? You look like you've been hypnotized.."

Menolly answered softly "Your eyes are really lovely." After she answered, she looked towards her own hands a moment then pushed a bang behind her ears before she just layed her head on Wolfwood's shoulder before looking up at him again.

"Oh, you think so? Well, your eyes are far more lovely than mine," Wolfwood said, giving Menolly a charming smile. When she laid her head on his shoulder, he peeked down at her and chuckled then shut his eyes and relaxed.

Menolly smiled back when he smiled at her, "I really like your eyes, and thank you." She closed her own eyes, relaxed. The nightmare of the morning creept back into her mind, and she worried that her father would break in the door to talk to Wolfwood and her mother would come flying in shooting people.

"You're quite welcome," Wolfwood returned, slipping his arms around Menolly and cuddling her close. When the silence had lengthened, he asked curiously, "Is something wrong? You're very quiet.." He cracked one eye open and peeked at her. "Or are you just really tired?"

Menolly opened her eyes and looked up to Wolfwood, "I am tired, and thinking." Compelled into being completely truthful and straightforward, she adds, "I was thinking about my Father and Mother, and how they reacted to Tristen. I am scared that will happen again, that my Father will find us and be angry. I do not want them to be angry at us and I do not want my Father to chase you away like he did Tristen." Holding on to Wolfwood, frightened that he would vanish on her.

When she had finished explaining, Wolfwood had to admit that he was a bit worried himself. But he didn't say it out loud. Instead, he stroked her hair and spoke softly to her. "Don't worry Menolly. Everything will be alright. C'mon. Let's go to bed now." He smiled warmly at her and kissed her forehead then scooped her up in his arms and carried her to his bedroom. Not bothering to undress, he laid down beside her, keeping his arms wrapped protectively around her.

Menolly does not speak not struggle, she just puts her arms around his neck when he suddenly scoops her up, smiling fondly the whole time. She felt completely safe and giggles at first. It was kind of fun to be carried again, for the short distance at least.
As he lays her down, she takes her arms from around his neck and just rests in his arms, her head on the pillow and her arms around him as well. Kissing his cheek again, she so loved doing that, Menolly says, "Good night, Nicholas." It doesn't take her long to fall into an easy and deep sleep and so long as he was touching her, she wouldn't wake up until morning.

"Goodnight Menolly. Sleep well," he told her softly, planting a kiss on her forehead. He watched her sleep for a little while before he eventually closed his eyes and drifted off too, hugging her close.

Menolly started to stir very lightly. She was too content to completely wake up without some incentive. Since she had become a teen, this was the first full restful nights sleep she had the pleasure of sleeping through. No nightmares found her, no thoughts of her father or mother going postal. She didn't know it, but she was smiling the whole night.

Wolfwood felt Menolly stir and he cracked one eye open, smiling himself when he saw the smile splitting her face. He had slept well, too. But much more lightly than Menolly had. Not wanting to wake her, he kept as still as possible, his arms still wrapped securely around her.
