really sorry he got hurt and feels terrible...

blames himself; he should've run faster instead of trying to be a hero.

pretty sure the fight was aimed more for her and didn't mean to get him dragged into this stuff..

wouldn't have left so easily, even if she'd asked... and now he'll probably be delayed in leaving town, "I'm sorry to take up the bed, now."

smiles weakly. "Take it for as long as you want.." sits by his side and holds his hand, running stroking his skin with her thumb.

frowns, "You look...sad." He doesn't like that smile to be weighed down with guilt, even as her hand makes his hand burn nicely...

nods. "I am, you got hurt because of me.."

shakes his head, squeezing her hand a little, "They were looking for something to steal, too. It wasn't just you..."

smiles a bit. "Shhh, just get some rest. I'll sit right here."

figures it's probably just his body's protests that're trying to knock him out, but closes his eyes, "Promise?

"

use her free hand to push his hair back off his forehead and running her fingers through it once. "I promise."

sighs, smiling, coaxing himself to sleep. The bed's pretty darn comfortable.

sits there, petting his hand until he falls asleep, keeping her promise and watching over him.

so tired that he doesn't have any weird dreams! Yay. He probably won't wake up on his own...

let him sleep for as long as he wants, she's patient.

would tell her that she can sleep, if he were awake.

isn't tired, she's more worried about him.

's stomach growls in his sleep.

laughs, stroking his cheek. "Torsten, wake up~"

wakes up with a smile, "Hm? Alise. <3" He didn't really, really thinks she would stay. He's glad she did!

smiles at him. "Your stomach was rumbling so what would you like?"

frowns, "We should go get something... or you could take some of my money to get something," he thinks, "Just some bread or fruit?"

an apple for him already! "I came prepared. I'll go get bread for you though."

blushes, "Thanks. You can get something for you, too..."

shakes her head. "It's your money so it's for you. Anything else you need while I'm out?"

shakes his head, taking a bite of the apple, "N-no. And... I really would like it if you ate something, Alise..."

nods, holding out her hand for some coins. "Sure, I'll grab something quick." is totally lying but keeps smiling.

hands her some of the coins from his pocket. It should be enough, "Good!" He looks really glad that she'll eat on his money.

quickly turns and leaves the inn, finding a street vendor that she buys a large ham sandwich with a real hunk of ham, thinking he should get

some protein and comes back with that, placing the change down. "Here!"

blinks, setting the apple core aside and picking the sandwich up, "Wow, this looks great... what'd you eat?"

points to his sandwich. "I had one of those. It's so filling!"

smiles, taking a bite out of it, "Wha, this is great..."

grins. "Yea, it's really good. Plus protein is good for you. You feeling better?"

nods, swallowing before he says anything, "Mmhm, sleep helped. Still hurts, but I don't feel like an undead or anything, now."

sits on the edge of his bed and leans over to check his shoulder. "At least it's not infected."

closes his eyes because her leaning is giving him a pretty decent view, "Y-yeah, we got to it quick."

trying not to press up too much against him, and sits back down quickly. "It looks pretty good."

peeks an eye open, "That's good! Huh, but... I'll probably still have a little while before it heals..." he doesn't like being /stuck/, now.

smiles at him. "I'll stay and take care of you till you've made a full recovery, it's the least I can do."

like he's probably being a burden, "Y-y'don't have to do that, just for me..." he blushes, though, because it sounds nice.

nods. "I want to.Plus it's a good excuse to stay with you, isn't it?

blinks at her, completely taken off guard, "........y-yeah." His face just got quite a bit redder, too.

blushes a little and continues to smile. "That is, if you want me to.."

nods a little too fast, wondering if it'd be alright if he kissed her... he decided to lean up and try.

leans over and meets his lips part way, blushing even more now.

doesn't go for anything crazy, just kissing her softly, heart pounding at the dual ideas that she'd like to stay AND like to kiss him...

pulls back with a smile, not really wanting to end the kiss. "You should be resting.."

frowns, "I am resting..." He doesn't sit up to try and get closer again, but does smile again, adding, "That made me feel a lot better..."

blushes, looking down to hide her red face. "I-I'm glad."

bites his lip a little, "W-we couldn't do that...more often, could we?" He couldn't really help but be a tomato at this point.

nods. "W-we could.. I don't mind it.." doesn't want to seem too eager ///

afraid of the same thing, grinning, "G-good. Because I like it a lot," He felt like he needed to reassert that, lifting a hand to her cheek.

leans into his cheek, finally meeting his eyes but still horrible embarrassed. "Me too.."

how the red on her cheek is setting off the color in her eyes, sitting up a little and managing not to wince.

pulls back. "Torsten, lie down, you're injured!"

frowns and does what she says. It just didn't seem like she'd lean back down, so he was going to go up...and most of his wounds are shallow.

sighs, running a hand through her hair. "What am I going to do with you."

would shrug but knows it'd hurt, "You can do whatever you want with me~" He doesn't mean it pervertedly, but the thought DOES occur to him_

after he said it... and then he looks embarrassed.

turns bright red, her mouth opening and closing but unable to say anything.

to turn over and hide his red face in the pillow, but that'd hurt too.

just sits there awkwardly, not really sure what to say or do.

mumbles, "I-ignore that," hoping she doesn't flee or something.

won't feel, she likes him too much for that. She's just a little stunned but nods to show she is responsive.

clearly unable to do anything dramatic to her, right now, anyway. A non-threat, he apologizes.

sits there and clears her throat. "A-Anything you n-need?"

tries to come up with something, "U-um, some water. Or mead," he isn't much of a drinker, but maybe he could forget the awkwardness...

gets him a glass of water easy of enough, holding it out to him. "Do you need help?"

takes it, "Just a little, so I don't...sit up wrong," he'd hate to strain the shoulder wound, since it's deep.

helps him sit up since he weighs next to nothing to her. "Better?"

nods, sipping and ignoring the dual fires of her touch and the wounds, still pretty red but now refreshed, "Thanks."

puts the empty glass away and sits back down on the edge of his bed. "Feeling a little bit better?"

smiles, "Yep. I hate having to sleep, though... I'd rather be out and about with you than stuck to the bed..."

laughs. "I don't really go out and about. And I'm right here, so being stuck in bed isn't too bad right?"

shakes his head, "True. Your company more than makes up for this~"

smiles. "Sadly it won't make it better so rest!"

nods solemnly, and goes back to sleep again.

tries to scoot off the bed without waking him up >w<

pretty darn asleep =w=

goes back to the chair and curls up awkwardly, trying to get some rest but failing ;w;
