She gave him a little smile, crooked and lazy from the exhaustion, but still managed to seem cheerful. "N-no no. Thank you for the consideration, but I'm warm enough." She knew that the chill she felt was more from the idea of being cold, a reflex she seemed to have from being in cool weather, and not from any real temperature difference. Somehow, the climate didn't seem to be very appealing to her.
Sun shine and warmth needed to be on the island. Perhaps then it would help with the melancholy emotions she felt without reason.
They remained quiet as he carried her down stairs and she did not even whimper when he adjusted her so he could open the door. She remained against his body, pressed into his chest and curled into herself to remain warm and keep as close to his scent as she could and not appear to be clinging. Or so she hoped.
But her mind didn't dwell on those thoughts for too long once she saw the library.
The dragons and shelves carved in stone didn't seem to match the rest of the castle. Plain walls and little to no decoration seemed to be about. At least in the hall she had walked along. But they were lit up by the glow of delicate glass lanterns. Down below, in the depths of the castle and the library, it somehow seemed more relaxed and warm. The smell of paper and ink, of old books and dust with stone and leather blended in the air to something like what Arjun smelled like.
With no consideration as to why, she bluntly sat up in his arms and inhaled at his neck. His hair mingling with hers as she did so, pressing herself against him as she breathed in his scent and then pulled away to waft air around them into her face. All the while, breathing deeply of the library. "Hmmm~.....Now I know where that scent comes from...." chuckling, Sophiana motioned to one of the bookshelfs and pointed to it's contents with her hand.
"Books. You always smell of books. It clings to you and your clothes. I even think I could sense you coming before I see you.....I-...don't mean it negatively, of course. Please don't be angry..." it was now she realized what she had done, and what she had said. It was inconsiderate and bordered on impropriety. Arjun kept himself at a distance from her, seemed to do it to everyone and perhaps she was crossing a line by clinging so close to him. By mentioning his person in such a way as their smell.
