Perhaps her request was a bit odd, seeing as how she was in a bad state. But it didn't matter anymore. The pain would always be there and so would that hunger for something sweet. Not a fruit or bread, but like the small sweeties that one of her maids ate often. Sophi not only wanted to have hot bread and drink, nor just something sweet, she wanted to be in good company and to feel warmth.
Arjun was both of those for her.
He didn't talk much, but when he did it was better conversation than the young maids. The few times they did touch, he always felt warm. In his arms once more, she felt his heat and breathed in his scent.
They moved then, her head settled along his shoulder and her nose pressed into the crook of his neck to feel the wool of his clothes along her cheek and forehead. To say he was cuddly would be inaccurate. He was cool and off putting, aloof and still he showed concern for her. Sophiana wanted to ask why, wanted to speak as he told her the general location of the library. But her words were 'hmm'-ed and 'ahh'-ed, showing she was hearing him but vaguely aware.
"I think that it is wise to keep the library safe underground. The weather is very wet here....and chilly." her body gave a little shiver and she curled against his body more. The arm not trapped between his body and her own came up and lightly grasped at his collar. Holding, and yet not clinging.
Once they came upon the stares, Sophiana looked up into his face to see if he was straining to hold her and use the stairs at the same time. True, he did not seem to be having troubles with her weight, but even so. Stairs could be tricky.
