He nodded at her acknowledgement of taking some downtime. It sounded like a good idea to him, after all. Hiding from Coan would go better if they didn't have any hiccups caused by travel. Staying in seemed like a good idea, and he'd been about to suggest it when she'd started to speak again. Her words put his question to rest, and he settled back into the couch some, resting his head on the cushion and staring up at the ceiling. Then he heard her voice again, and she said something that got his attention rather thoroughly. His eyes moved to her with a jerk of his head, and his hand went to the back of his head. A programmed gesture, and he moved his hand back to the glass sitting before him on the coffee table. She had offered him her bed for the night. It told him things, or at least, it should. He took a moment, fighting the impulse to tell her goodnight at the moment. He didn't even have a chance to speak again before she was into her room. If he was to take her up on her offer. It would have to be soon.
He considered what it meant that she'd even offered. He knew it meant she trusted him, but he knew that already. He supposed it might mean that somewhere in her head she wanted him to join her. Though whether she thought it was a mistake at this point was unknown. He settled into a firm plan. Not a particularly invasive plan, in fact. He may have been designed for sex, but it didn't usually dominate his thoughts until that was required of him. He was still in the clear as far as that went, and so for now he would retain his sense.
And with that out of his mind, he laid down on the couch, hands resting folded behind his head, and stared up at the ceiling. She was something, alright. Helping him like this, despite her position. In spite of, maybe? Even offered him her bed. He supposed it could been a sexual request. But it wasn't clear enough for him to feel good about capitalizing on it. Not to mention the drinks they'd had. His judgement wouldn't be impaired. He didn't have a liver after all, but hers? She was fleshy. Hopefully, she didn't hold it against him that he'd decided to stay here for now, and take a rain check on finding out just how fleshy she was. Still, as he laid on the couch and watched the ceiling, he worried about Coan, and Dax, and Radius. All the things that bothered him spiraled around in his mind. Addled his consciousness with stresses and worries that distracted him from the dull view. How long to wait before returning to Radius. Whether or not to be worried about Coan finding Dax's place. The possibility of alienating Dax from him, and losing someone who was, at present, the only ally he had. He sat up and looked at her door, and the thought occurred to him that she needed him to protect her from Coan and whatever else was lurking in her past. Well, maybe not "needed," but he could help her, at least. He wanted to. It struck him that this thought was manufactured by Coan. He could feel it in the way it came about. But what made the thought special was that he agreed with it.

The mind is a fantastic, dangerous place. Don't go alone.
