hale cometh down upon our spines

A bitter laugh leaves her as he asks what she will call him. It was a good question considering she hadn't thought of anything to call him aside from asshole, but that just... seemed to forward. Unfitting now that they had grown closer... Had they? She looks at him, regards him and wonders if maybe he... No, she doesn't think he will. The temptation is there as she lets out a playful hum. Looking around the room, she smiles when she finally lands on an answer. "I suppose I will just have to call you whatever you get promoted to," her grin grows as she looks back at him, her eyes bright against the flicker of the nearby flames.

While she is studying his face once more, the temptation is too strong. There is no excuse to give as to why she wants to do it. Maybe it is because she is used to being closer to others. Personal space wasn't a term she knew, remember? Either way, Delphi didn't care. She had to scratch the itch. As awkward as she felt, she moved swiftly. Getting to her paws in one fell swoop, she takes a few steps over to the coat he lays on and expertly curls up beside him. Snuggling up into his side, she tucks her nose under his paw. Looking up at him, she smiles. "Body heat will help keep the chill away," she says quietly. It's the only excuse she can come up with.
