Sophiana closed her eyes as the moment paused. Just for a fraction of a second, long enough for her to feel the heat of his skin against her forehead as well as his breath wash along her skin. Arjun was warm, terribly comfortable that as he lowered himself a little to wrap his arm around her waist - effectively bringing them closer together - she couldn't help the soft sigh. Muscles relaxed against him, giving some weight to him while she let her legs and side rest a moment. Most of the pain was kept away due to the herbs and tonics she was given, but some pains would not go away.
And taking more than she was prescribed could lead to worse things.
His admission to his age broke the spell of warmth that was wrapped around her, spilling the chill in the air down her back like a bucket of ice. Involuntarily, she shivered against his side and rose her free hand to pull the wrap around her shoulders to her mouth, as if to keep her lips and chin warm would help. "You might not-....feel as if you are young, but you are...." her voice trailed off and she faulted in a step before slowly continuing, "....how old do you think I am? I feel perhaps not yet fifty-five, but a good nights rest sometimes plays tricks on the eyes...."
Her chuckle was gentle and warm, yet mindful of the fact that her heart was terrified of everything. She worked at the concealment of her expressions to not show the fear. That panic one had when something important was misplaced. But in this case it wasn't just an object, it was her life. Something simple as her age was made light of, but she really felt as if she needed to know. Or get a close idea of it all.
