At this point, after what had been hours of confusion and disgust, Piper didn't have the energy left to put up a decent fight. Murmuring a small sigh, her head shook to respond to the last of his words. "No, I just want to sleep..." Though she would have preferred to argue were she not so exhausted, but Connor hadn't given her much ammo she hadn't already covered in her previous tirade. Having known one another for only a few hours, it was surprising to recap the events between them, yet she could appreciate his rescue of sorts, and then disapprove of what that actually meant. To safety, but confinement, and to wounds being tended to, but feelings being hurt. Connor seemed like someone she wanted to know, but their situation wasn't naturally comfortable, even when played out in his lavish penthouse hidden in uptown Valesport.
When she had slipped back into the top he had loaned her, she couldn't remember. Much of this was starting to blur from exhaustion, their altercation and her slip up. Her whole reason for being angry muting over time. Now it was just strain behind her eyes that caused them to close so as she re-buttoned the shirt and shifted against the sheets, she appeared as sanguine as Connor would expect to find her tonight. It wasn't a question of whether he intended to sleep with her; that much was already clear. Piper just wondered if she could sleep easily with a partial stranger by her side. Laying awake to think over her circumstances was the last thing she wished to do, but knowing how much there was to think about, she expected a struggle. Even so, she put forth her best efforts to block out the rest of her dealings for the sake of rest.
Whether she deserved being able to dodge Connor's unsaid thoughts remained a mystery.
At least the bed was comfortable, despite the bedding having been kicked and tussled around with her tantrum. Piper would regret that, too, when she wasn't so thoroughly distraught, but there would be no taking back the events of their first encounter and what regret was felt in the pit of her stomach was well earned, at the very least. Curling up, she pulled the comforter up to her nose as though seeking security beneath it's layers, her pale features half protruding from where she lay. Only peeking at Connor when she knew he wasn't looking, the ache in her limbs seemed all too familiar as she waited to see what he would do. Part of her thought that assuring she wouldn't lash out at him while he slept was the polite way to prove she wasn't crazy, but even thinking that needed to be brought up seemed outlandish - and there had been enough outlandishness between them in the past few hours without anymore added to the fray.
Silence might prove to be the best option for the two of them, because for what it was worth, they didn't have much left to be said. At least, Piper didn't. All the venom had been spit quite effectively, and even after such hurtful things had escaped her, Connor had been sure to compliment his guest. A black diamond, he called her. A gem that sparkles only when put to light. Piper had never heard someone use that phrase. Especially not about her. Now it was hitting her, weighty and frightening, that it wasn't Connor who was being cruel in the face of changes to her life. On the contrary, she was an outsider coming to live with someone who wanted nothing more than to help her out of a dire situation. How much crueler could she have been than to attack his acceptance? When her eyes shut to the sight of his back, they shut for the last time. Guilt didn't seem interested in letting up, and the best she could do was sleep it off.
An apology would be best when the day was new, and there wasn't still the bitter taste of aggression filling her mouth.
