[ It's that sort of thoughtfulness from him, how he's careful about how he holds her, that makes her feel so safe with him. It makes it hard to even imagine him doing something to hurt her on purpose. The way his body fits with hers is a beautiful addition to this whole thing, her heartbeat slow and steady against his skin, his just under where her head rests. She would be okay with staying right here for a very long time.
It's just easier for her. Saying things out loud sounds so very final and suddenly Important, and she's very bad with commitment of any kind. ] I try to be. Paying attention pays off a lot. [ She could say 'it's my job' as a joke, but that's so far from the actual truth, which is that if she ever thought of it as her job she just flat out wouldn't do it, and too tangled up in the weird give and take of normal sentinel and guide things to not come with baggage. ] Glad I did.
