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

... 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.]

-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-

[colony_brat]

[Duo just sits there for a while, quiet and not moving... much. He fiddles with his skirt a little, but that's all.]

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

-That steady and slow breathing indicates that she's fallen asleep, Duo. Look at her there. Isn't she precious? You'd hardly believe it was the same girl that was a horrendous bitch to you earlier.-

[colony_brat]

[Duo tucks the blankets up under her chin and takes a moment to sooth back her hair, enjoying being able to do something nice without worrying about getting yelled at. He's used to being yelled at. He's not going to hold anything like that against her. He smiles a little before going back to work.]
