A tug of bunched cloth here, a slight shifting there, and then she's getting all comfortable and starting to relax. And no, seriously no, she is not in the mood to talk for a little while. But then, she's not going to break down crying either. It's enough that she is alive, and he is alive and human, warm and trusted and awake and present. After taking part in so much death, it's good to be able to reach out and be able to hold on to living, breathing, life. It's good to not have to be alone tonight.

"I'm glad you are here, Maxim. This night would be very cold without you." No, she's not talking just about the temperature.
