Visitor! (Darius/Cassiel) - Darius and Crew

He nodded.

"Of course it is. I just want to make sure I've got the sleeping arrangements right in my head. I'll be right back."

He winked at both women and went for the linen closet, whistling a merry little Christmas tune under his breath.

She picked up her beer and sipped at it.

"He's a good man."

Again, she was silent, waiting and lost to her own thoughtsn

So she stayed quiet, watching and waiting. Wanting to be on call if anyone needed her.

It wasn't more than ten minutes later that he came back into the room.

"There we go. Cassiel, you've got a bed all ready for you."

"Thank you, that's very kind of you," she nodded, only half there at the present time.

She smiled.

"We'll find out what's happening, and do what we can to get him back to you."

He nodded with another smile.

"Absolutely."

She looked at them both and nodded, giving a smile-- though it was a worried one. "Is there anything I can do for you guys?"

He smiled.

"For now? Just get some rest. I'll handle everything else."

"Okay," she said quietly and simply left the room to do as instructed. Which was good, she needed the air and the time alone.

He looked over at Elizabeth and smiled.

"Well, I think that went rather well."

She smiled up at him, crawling over to press against him.

"Yes, it did. Thank you for helping my friend."

He smiled and reached down to pet her hair.

"Of course, Elizabeth. I will always help those that are important to you."

She smiled and closed her eyes under the petting.

"Bestest."

He smiled at that, leaning over to kiss the top of her head.

"Thank you."

She smiled up at him, then covered a yawn.

"Bed time?"

He nodded and started heading for the bedroom.

"Yes. Definitely bedtime."

She crawled after him quickly, though she was obviously tired.

He took her to his room and let her have her choice -- bed or cage.

She smiled as he allowed her to choose the bed, stripping out of her clothes and crawling into it.

He lay down next to her and wrapped his arm around her -- after he stripped as well. No funny business. He wasn't sleeping with her in the Biblical sense.

She didn't seem to want that kind of sleeping. She just slept naked. But she did enjoy his arms around her, feeling safe.

He closed his eyes for the day, making sure that he still had his arms around her when the sun rose.
