hale cometh down upon our spines

Something inside of her finally relaxes when he moves inside the room and begins to towel himself off. Was she nervous he wouldn't like her hiding spot? No, that wasn't it. Was it? No, feelings suck. No feelings. Just appreciation for now. He saved her, this was her repayment. That's all this way. Stretching out her toes as he snags one of the snacks, she sees it from the corner of her eye. Does he never stop eating? Delphi thinks to herself as she begins to lay all the way down on her side to maybe close her eyes for a moment. Well, until his jabbing words make her head shoot straight up.

Glowering at him, it takes her a moment to realize that he merely poking fun at her. Snorting in his direction, she rolls her eyes. "As if gramps would ever let the likes of you have a den," she sneers back, lips pulling up and nose wrinkling in his direction with maybe a hint of a smirk. Delphi really couldn't help herself. Something about that boy made her stomach hot and icky in a bad? Good? Some kind of way.
