*Night. you slips quietly into Rhys Corwin's room, his door right across from her own. In the half-darkness, his eyes open, heavy with sleep.* Rhys: What is it, my dear?.. you: I'm scared.. Can I stay here with you?.. *He shifts over, drawing the blanket around her shoulders and pulling her close. A sudden noise startles you, and she presses against him; his arms tighten around her.* Rhys: Everything's alright... *Twenty minutes later, seeing you still awake, Rhys stirs fully. He sits up, gathers her carefully into his lap, and begins to rock her gently, humming a soft, familiar lullaby until sleep takes her.*
