She giggles and takes El's hand. "To bed it is, then."

Hee!

She keeps stealing little kisses on the walk back to the hotel, kicking off her shoes and transmuting her dance clothes into pajamas (with little lions on them, of course) once they're in their room.

El shucks everything down to her underthings; the way she prefers to sleep.

...Bellona is so much more aware of that than she usually is!!! She blushes and decides to kiss El's cheek instead of being awkward about this.

To bed, then?

Yeah. To bed.

She snuggles up next to El, of course.

Her Lion does like to sleep cozy.

Mmmm. Every cat knows their person is the best place to sleep. (Small yawn.)

Gentle hug.

Until the morning, then.

Nuzzle. 

And Bellona drifts off to sleep.

She has pleasant dreams that night. El is in all of them, petting her, kissing her, praising her... (Bellona is part cat a significant portion of the time.)

She wakes up happy and glowing and almost unable to believe how wonderful the day before was, and stares at El for a while, dopey, before gently untangling herself so she can have coffee ready for El when she's ready to face the day. Maybe also some breakfast in bed, the hotel has room service if only Bellona can figure this ordering system out...

(She can. And the breakfast lady can even source a 'lap table' so Bellona can surprise her 'girlfriend' (eeeeeee) with a proper breakfast in bed.)

Of ways to wake up (which she prefers to do as little as possible of), this is certainly one of the better ones.

"I'll have to become your girlfriend more often if it means I get service like this."

"It's my pleasure." Kiss. "I think I like serving you."

"...Maybe that's why Ruby has that collar."

She giggles, a bit - almost embarrassed, but not really...

"I guess we'll have to ask."

"After breakfast."

"Give them a chance to wake up, too." Kiss. "And a bit longer for me to have you all to myself."

And: breakfast. Bellona had a pretty good guess of what El would like, even among weird future alien foods. (She got an omelet loaded with cool peppers and creamy green stuff and soft cheese for herself.) She snuggles up beside El the entire time they're eating, sipping her tea and grinning ear to ear. Mostly at her sister.

Her sister is worth grinning at.

Very much so. Best view in the multiverse.

Eventually there are wakesome noises from the other room.

Well, they can go stare at each other in the living room, then, in case their alts ever emerge. Or knock?

It's not much longer before Ellie emerges, beelining for the coffee machine in the kitchen (which El has already set on the drip).

Ruby follows after her, grinning when she sees El and Bellona cuddling on the couch. "Have a good night?"

"Tolerable," El allows.

Bellona leans her head on El's shoulder, grinning. "Room for improvement."
