It's a more honest answer than she was expecting. He's become more trusting and open with her the longer she's lived here, the longer they've spent their nights under the same roof and shared their best and worst with one another. She's grateful to hear it, even if it makes her heart ache a little. Thor deserves more than the pain that lingers in him after nightmares like he's had tonight.

"I doubt I sleep again tonight," she offers, matching his honesty with her own. "I'll be too worried about you to let my mind rest." She smiles ruefully at him, sipping her cocoa before setting it aside once more. It allows her to pull herself closer, an arm loosely about his lower back so she can better lean into him. She's quiet for a moment, listening to the sounds of their home and his steady breathing, before she continues.

"I meant what I said, that I'll stay with you. If that means we sit here together until dawn breaks, then so be it. If it means we... make ourselves comfortable in your bed, I..." Her cheeks flush a deep red. "I-I'll happily go to be close to you."

She doubts he wants that. Her in his bed. Not to reach for anything more than being close even if he said yes, but she needs to offer this to him. Being close to him now is the most important thing. He'll need the stability, and she needs to know he's well. This is the way to do that.

"Only if that's what you want," she murmurs after a moment. "I... We don't have to do anything either of us are uncomfortable with."
