[Oh good, that worked. Interpersonal interaction success!

The smile wavers a bit as they slide in and are immediately faced with the minor inconvenience of figuring out how this works. "Hugging while laying down" sounded easy enough in theory, but in practice there's questions of what to do with his lower arm and how to lay down in a way that won't be uncomfortable for Isabeau either. Who knew cuddling was so involved!

Eventually, he figures it out with Isa's quiet guidance, which at least helps soothe his nerves a little. Even more effective at that is Isabeau's massive arm wrapping around them and practically tucking them in.]


Y-yeah.

[Siffrin feels awkward through the whole settling process. Their stiffness fades slowly, and it's like nothing so much as melting, their tiny body relaxing bit by bit into Isabeau until they carefully wind an arm around his waist and tuck themself in closer. It's the warmest they've ever felt in this bed. In their whole life, maybe. The thought leaves his throat feeling tight and his eye hot.]

You can just, uh...move me, if you get uncomfortable. I don't think anything short of the clocktower collapsing will wake me up after today.

[After the last several months of todays, really.]
