Re: action:

That sounds like a fair compromise.

[ Charlie can do compromises. They help her feel like she has a say. A choice. That she can be part of the process instead of a bystander. Where others aren't in full control. So she nods at Neil, offering him a small, tired smile. ]

I can do that. I'll give it a try.

Re: action:

[Success! Neil grins, then raises a fist in the air, angled in Charlie's general direction for a fistbump.]

All I ask.

[Don't leave him hanging, kiddo.]

Re: action:

[ What? What is going on? She has no idea what he's doing, so there's going to be a lot of super confused looks at his hand and then at him before very tentatively returning the gesture and looking at him like 'was that right?' ]

Re: action:

[hellorhighwater]

[The oh so hesitant little fistbump gets a triumphant laugh--very good, you're learning, Charlie! Rolling over on his stomach with the grace of a cat, he used a push up to spring into a crouch, then up to his feet with a sharp little whistle.]

Okay! Into bed, chop chop. I got an idea, get comfortable.

[ At first, she thinks he’s laughing because she did it wrong, but since he didn’t correct her after, that thought is pushed away quickly in favor of a small smile. She stands quickly, not quite as graceful as Neil and heads over to the bed, stretching out on her side and facing the door. ]

This is only a one time thing. If this happens again, I’ll sleep in my room. You shouldn’t be sleeping on the floor, Neil.

Re: action:

[Neil makes a show of sticking a finger in his ear, as if to clear it out.]

Huh? How's that? I'm sorry, I can't hear you--I see your lips moving, but it's just 'blah blah blah blah.' So weird.

[Grinning, he sinks to his knees next to the bed and gives her shoulder a fond little pat.]

You should've seen some of the places I slept on assignment on the mountain passes of Torrel--this floor's way softer 'n some of those rocks, sprout. Now c'mon--you comfortable? That how you sleep? Charm takes a little time to cast, if you get tired on your own while I'm doin' it, I don't want you to have to roll over and wake yourself up.
