Silence stretches between them but she doesn't hear him leave. Instead, as she lays there, facing away from him, she listens. She listens to his heartbeat that thuds in his chest, his breathing that goes in and out, how his body shifts ever so slightly against the stone. Those tiny movements tell her that he isn't going to go away that easily. Maybe he has decided to be nice for once. Her mind drifts as she wonders how long she'll have to give him the cold shoulder for. Did the cat have his tongue this time? When his words do finally come out, her own heart stops for a second. He liked her? Wait, did he really just say that? Out loud? Delphi is more than surprised. Her breath is successfully taken away as she slowly lifts her head to look over her shoulder at him. He's looking down at the ground and his paws so she can't meet his gaze. Had she not just told Vidarr the other day that she thought she had feelings for him too... Had Vidarr said something to the boy? No, gramps wouldn't do that to her... Delphi's mouth opens slightly as she fights to find good words. Instead, she does what she knows. Rolling back over, she scoots to him, careful to keep the weight off of her injured ankle, and presses herself against his chest and under his chin so that he can lay his head over her shoulders. "I'm scared too," she curls up once more so that she is snugly between his front legs and her chin is on his paws. "Because I like you too," her voice is no more than a whisper as she stares out at the fire that crackles beside them. |
