"Works out fine since we only have one bed anyway."

" - yeah, I guess. Only if we can find you work that happens at night, though, if they even have anything like that."

"Most places do. But I guess we'll work it out if they don't."

"People pretty much don't die of sleeping on the floor, so."

"Yeah.

Do you, uh, want to hug again?"

" - very much, yes."

Hug.

Maybe they can find some comfortable non-bed arrangement for snuggling. That would be really nice.

There's a couch in the sitting room part of the main room. It's not actually very comfortable, as couches go, but it supports snuggling.

"I wonder if the locals snuggle each other or if that is not orderly enough and they just have sad detached relations when the calendar says to."

"Pendant doesn't know that one. Sounds awful."

"Yeah." Petpetpetpet.

Happy sigh.

"I assume I'll eventually get bored of never doing anything besides this. Might take a while, though."

"I guess you'll have a hard time finding anyone who wants to do anything else, here. Sorry."

Snuggle. "Maybe they still have books. Books are nice and tranquil, right? Maybe no fiction, but I bet they have something."

That is not what he thought she was talking about. "Oh, yeah, probably. Maybe they have improving hobbies like gardening and needlework."

"I guess I could take up needlework. If we're stuck here for a really excessive amount of time."

"You could practice with everything on your spell list. So you get confident casting them in emergencies. Then I guess you could resort to needlework."

"Yeah, that's a much better idea."

Slightly mopey snuggling.

Snuggling. Mostly without moping.

"Very oppressive, how I'm gonna have to go to sleep soon. I feel oppressed."

"You could not go to sleep soon and instead stay here and talk to me."

"I could do that. Maybe if I try enough times I will eventually figure out how to have conversations with you without making you sad."

"I appreciate you being honest with me even if it makes me a little sad. I am, recent events notwithstanding, mostly a grownup who can handle being a little sad."

"It would just be very unfortunate if it happened every time, I think."

"That's fair. At some point it'd get a little ridiculous. Well, right now I am very happy because I am holding you and only a tiny bit sad about the prospect that you will ever eventually get bored of this and feeling unsure whether to hope that we're stuck here until we've reached that point so I don't have to explain myself to my friends or to hope that we go back first because probably explaining myself to my friends is an important part of being good to you."
