Room 324, Sunday Evening
Kate felt weird. As if she... was supposed to feel kind of dizzy, but everything was completely clear instead. With a vague buzzing, somewhere in the background. It was probably shock.
She was just going to run with it, for as long as it lasted. Then collapse. Maybe cry. She wasn't thinking about any of that right now. Someone else was her priority.
And that someone was Bod, who'd been using her as a walking aid on their way up from the lobby.
"So, what do you need?" she asked when they'd made it to her room.
[ooc: For the poor, poor boyfriend.]

She felt like her guard wasn't so much down as just torn into itty bitty shreds.
"Happy thoughts," she muttered against his neck.

Physically, that is.
"I'll just..." He trailed off and rubbed his eyes, using it as almost a stall tactic now. "...be more aware of the island's machinations now."

"Yes," she said, after a moment.

So, he didn't talk, unable to come up with words once again.

Worse than the comanap debacle, she meant. She wasn't even sure why she said that. But he was right, she was exhausted.

Too tired to hold it back, too tired to panic about it.

Bod knew his parents loved him and he suspected Silas and Miss Lupescu did too even if they never said as much. This...was very different and Bod couldn't really identify what he was feeling though he knew it was good. Warm. Comforting. Soothing.
"You..." He sounded surprised but not in any sort of bad way. He just hadn't expected her to say that. "Really?"
no subject
"Yes," she said, like she was just stating a fact. "Really."
This was not how she would've expected this important relationship moment to happen, but she didn't care about that, either.

Bod managed to fight that off but the ragged breathing was still there. He tightened his hold on her some more, trying to find his voice again. It was somewhere, getting buried under terrible mental images and declarations of love that were giving his heart a boost.
no subject
"It's not that horrible," she said quietly after a while, some actual emotion creeping back into her voice. She sounded fond.
