-Well that just gets a giggle out of her.-

[colony_brat]

[A giggling girl really isn't helping him. He'll be petting his hair now, trying to figure out if that's the problem.]

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

It's nothing, Duo.

[colony_brat]

[stare] Girls laughin' at me when I'm not tryin' ta be funny's usually not a good thing...

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

It really is nothing, I assure you.

[colony_brat]

[stare, but he'll slowly sit down near her feet again]

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

You could leave now... if you wanted.

[colony_brat]

I don't mind keepin' you company for a while. It's not like I have ta get back ta work before my boss fires me.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

I've nothing to talk about...

[colony_brat]

Well, ya don't always have to talk. I can actually sit quietly sometimes. I could also do all the talkin' if ya don't mind me just runnin' at the mouth.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

I'd also like to nap.

[colony_brat]

Oh, does that mean you want me ta go? 'cause I will so you can get comfortable and get some sleep.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

... Could you stay with me until I am asleep?

[colony_brat]

Oh! Sure! [His confused look turns into a smile.]

You got it. You wanna change into somethin' more comfortable? That dress looks great, but I can't image it'd be fun ta nap in. You'll wrinkle it too. I can turn around or leave for a bit if ya want.

-She gives a nod, reading up to begin pulling the combs and ties out of her hair.-

[colony_brat]

[Well, she didn't really answer his question so for now he's just going to turn so he's staring at a wall and nothing reflective.] Yeah, this dress is nice 'nough, but I wouldn't wanna sleep in it. I wouldn't think you'd wanna sleep in yours either. At least we got your face washed off so it won't be a mess when ya wake up from your nap.

-She doesn't really respond, but the sounds indicate that she's combing out her hair. After a few moments...-

Could you... please leave the room a moment?

[colony_brat]

Sure, sure. [He gets up and manages to make his way out of the room without turning around or looking like a total idiot. He'll go poke around the apartment, looking into the other other rooms and generally being nosy.]

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

-She eventually changes into her night gown (which is really just her normal clothes) before calling him back in.-

[colony_brat]

[Duo's going to be doing his best to look like he wasn't doing anything.] You sleep in those? Well, it's cu- hopefully comfortable. Can I compliment your clothes without gettin' in trouble?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

... I don't really care right now. I'm tired.

[colony_brat]

[Duo lifts a hand and doesn't even think as he puts it on her back, below her wings, and starts steering her toward her room.] To bed then! Time for little girls ta take their naps so they can yell at me some more later.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

-She mostly just grumbles, most of which being about her not being a little girl.-

[colony_brat]

[Duo ignores her and directs her into bed before taking a seat next to her.] You want me ta stay here or on the floor or you want me ta do somethin' like when I was a kid so you can fall asleep and know you're not alone?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

... This is fine.

-She eases herself beneath the blankets, letting out a light sigh-
