Bella teleports to where Sherlock is and flops down somewhat lapward. "Just checking," she says, "if I disappeared for several decades I would not come home to an unexpected alt of Carinna, right?"

She unpeels herself from cuddling, unhurried, and drops into stance.
"Surprise me," she says in familiar old tones.

She's surprised, but not productively.
He taught her well, and she wasn't a slouch to start.
She's not even cheating significantly - no extra speed in mind or body beyond what Slayerhood gave her, and the wards are immaterial since he never aimed to really hurt her anyway.
And eventually she has him pinned to the wall.
"Why hello there."

Bella's eyes glow with bright flame, and more of it trickles down her hair, burning nothing but crackling softly anyway. Her aura whispers, I'm dangerous, I just proved it, but you, you I like, I think I'll keep you.
And she kisses him.
And she kisses him.

It really was, wasn't it? Kisses kisses. Eventually she's not so much pinning him to the wall as she is plastered to him with the wall incidentally involved as a prop.

And Sherlock is suitable for kissing. Bella was already pretty sure about this but it cannot hurt to check.

Oh good. She would be surprised, and not happily, if that changed.
All of the kisses. Bright harmless flickers of fire, creeping away from her to tickle over him. Purring aura of menace. Good things.

Yes. Those.
And, eventually, fewer of those things and more snuggles. Which are also good.

Snuggles are also, certainly, good. Sherlock is also, certainly, suitable as a pillow.

He is! He is adequately insulating and exceptionally cuddly.
There is a brief golden sparkle from behind the couch, then a more persistent red glow.

Bella lifts her head slightly.
She looks at Steph's glow, the visible fading edge of it.
She then stops looking at it and puts her head back down.

Snuggles.
Bella puts intruding snuggle-unrelated thoughts away for later. Snuggles are good.

Bella's aura is all tucked away. Her eyes are not glowing; the only glowing thing about is Steph.
"Tempted to fall asleep on you," Bella murmurs.

"'Kay."
And she curls up on him and pillows her head on his chest, and falls asleep, and commences uttering random words.
"Lightbulb. Cloud four. Vitamin."

Well, that's adorable.
Sherlock closes his eyes and tucks his arms around her and listens.
