Welcome to Gaia! ::

"...Probably." Candace leaned back on her hands. Might as well keep being honest with the guy. "Come oooooon. I told youuuu."

Candace blinked. That was it? Because she was pretty? She had said she'd laugh but...huh. There had to be more to it than that. She grinned anyway, a somewhat forced grin. "I'll give you more reasons to like me, okay? I'll do whatever it takes." She meant it, too. They weren't just words to get him in bed with her. Technically they already were in bed together.

A way with the ladies, huh? She raised a brow and scoot closer, looking interested now. Jerry? A way with the ladies and single? There was no way. "Yeah, well. They obviously weren't worth your ti..ime..." Her heart fluttered a bit. He..he was glad he met her? Really? Even after everything that'd just happened? Her grin softened to a soft smile as she blushed and looked away, rubbing at the back of her neck. He was making her feel like some lovesick schoolgirl. What the hell?! "I'm glad I met you too, Jerr-bear..." She looked down at his hand and reached for it, gently curling her fingers around it and putting her head on his shoulder. "Thank you for giving me another chance, Jerry. I promise I won't disappoint you...again." Candace said quietly, tilting her head enough to look up at him through her bangs. She gave his hand a squeeze, curling up close against the man beside her. There were more people she needed to be apologizing to but she really didn't want to move from this spot where it was safe and warm, and there was a friendly man sitting beside her.

"..You know what'd be nice right about now? A nap." She looked down a moment and then turned her eye up to Jerry's face again. "Tooooogether, maybe?" Eh? Maybe? Just an innocent little nap? He had to be exhausted. She certainly was. And the idea of cuddling sounded pretty nice...

He blushed again and Candace smiled, reaching out to cup his good cheek and stroke it with her thumb in a gentle motion. "You're so cute when you blush." She teased affectionately, making a soft, thoughtful noise when he reminded her of his back. Hm. "That's fine."

He reached out for her and she hummed. Give him the option or decide on her own...

Nah, she'd let him choose. Candace settled down beside him, laying on her side facing the man for now. "Well, there's two ways we could do this. You can sleep on your side and hold me from behind, or I can lay on my back and you can lay on your stomach using my ah...pillows instead of yours." Her chest or his actual pillows. It was up to him. He was quite lucky she was even giving him the option to choose himself! Though not without her own preference being made clear. Candace shrugged. "I think the latter would be more comfortable for your back, personally."

"If we only went with what I liked I wouldn't have given you a choice." Candace chuckled, shifting onto her back with a soft sigh. Eh? Dysfun--oh. She frowned and gently ran her fingers through Jerry's hair, massaging his scalp and closing her eyes. "I promise I won't do something like that again. I want nothing to do with anyone else's weapons." His hand found hers and her eyes fluttered open, looking down at their linked hands with wide eyes, a faint blush dusting her dark cheeks. He...he was still being this affectionate even after...! Her heart hammered in her chest as she attempted and failed at fighting off the biggest smile she'd had since coming to this goddamn island. He was comfortable enough to cuddle with her, to hold her hand, to trust her to hold him while they slept. She hadn't completely ******** everything up.

Ugh. She didn't deserve hiiiiiiim. Candace was still smiling despite that thought as she gave Jerry's hand an affectionate squeeze. "Thank you, Jerry." She murmured, lifting her head so she could press a soft kiss against the top of his head before putting her head back down on the pillow and closing her eyes.
