Well, even if that's not the case... [She shifts against Gai, as though trying to make herself comfortable, but it's more of a comforting, reassuring gesture.] I'll be very quiet and still until you wake up.

Thank you.

[To show his gratitude, he gives her a gentle squeeze, dropping a kiss against her hairline. A part of him had almost expected her to decide against the risks involved with falling asleep on him like this-- if she had, he wouldn't have blamed her for it. He's well aware of how dangerous he is, both on purpose and unwittingly. Fear would only be a logical reaction.

Then again, the same could be said about her tears, yet he wasn't afraid of those.]

[Well, to be fair, there was something a little nerve-wracking sleeping on someone who would be on a hair-trigger. Elizabeth wouldn't call herself a restless sleeper, but she really didn't know what she did in her sleep.]

[But she didn't want to leave Gai alone on the couch. At all. She'll take her chances before abandoning the bond they're sharing at this moment.]

Or... I could just kiss you. I know it's typically the other way around, but if it works I don't know who could complain.

Awakening me with a kiss? Not usually how the fairy tales go, but I've never been one for sticking to traditions.

[And he's pretty sure that is something that wouldn't put him on instant alert. She may be a little scared of him, but right now, he's more scared of himself than anything else, and it's a horrible, frightening feeling.

It's another nail being painfully driven into the realization that no matter how much he may try to pretend, he can't be a normal person.]

[If Elizabeth could have heard Gai's thoughts, she would have tried to reassure him more. Maybe even tell him that she wasn't a normal person and would never be a normal person either. Promise to do whatever he needed her to do to assuage his concerns. But it sounds to her as though he's just agreeing that her method wouldn't startle him.]

Then I'll do that. It sounds like a nice way to wake up anyway.

[Gai is just fine with her interpreting it that way. His thoughts aren't something that she needs to worry about, at least not for the time being. They're something that he has to deal with on his own. Or, more precisely, they're something that he doesn't want her to be concerned over.]

I can definitely agree to that much.
