[64th]

[ Cashmere's curled up in her bed, wrapped in the blankets. her face has a little pink flush to her face gives away that she's a little chilly. ]

Given the weather, anybody want to cuddle?

There's nothing left for me there, even if i wanted to. [ even if by some miracle Cashmere is still alive there, she's without her brother. she doesn't imagine that the rest of her family fared much better. ]

I don't know where I'll go. I haven't thought about it.

You could stay here.

[ The "with me" is left on the edge of Arya's tongue, but based on her expression, it's fairly obvious. She wants to do this more often -- cuddling with the coolest person in the world, a lady who is at once beautiful and ferocious. A lady with power, who can do anything.

That's who Arya wants to be. ]

[ she smiles at Arya, and hugs her close. she's never had a sister, but is very fond of Arya and thinks that if she had a little sister, she'd want to her to like Arya. it's crossed her mind more than a few times that the girl would have been a real contender in the arena. Hadriel is an arena all of it's own, and Arya's handled it like she's prepared her whole life for it. ]

Maybe. Only if I have good company.

[ Arya isn't sure how to react at first. The last person to hug her like this is dead; everyone else who's grabbed her usually did it with their interests at heart, nothing more. She's stiff for a moment before remembering that she's safe, that she can probably trust Cash. Then she hugs back, tight and ferocious even in her affection. She does not want to let go. ]

I'm staying. Someone has to look out for Steve.

[ Steve, Arya has decided, is too nice to survive without help. ]

[64th]

Yeah? I'd have some excellent company then. [ she's still not quite ready to accept that this might be it - that she might never see real sun again and this weird alien land could be the rest of her life.

but then she grins. ] That's true. He's a big guy so I have a feeling that when he gets into trouble, it's a lot of trouble.

[whichend]

[ The fact that Arya counts as excellent company makes her beam, and she snuggles back under the blanket, closer to Cashmere.

She giggles softly. ] Oh, yes. He's so nice, he'd likely try to help a monster and before long, he'd be completely surrounded.
