It's settling to feel him settle once more. After the fright that got them out of bed in the first place, it's good to feel him so calm and safe that sleep comes for him. Falling asleep sitting up isn't ideal, of course, but she'd have allowed it if he fully drifted off. She smiles up at him at his words, leaning close enough to kiss his cheek.
"A few moments to get up and then into bed isn't so bad," she teases gently. "I'll even stay close while we go." She should probably pull away long enough to get into something a little more dry, but her nightgown isn't so damp it'll cause problems. ...probably. She huffs a laugh and shifts next to him, putting her feet more firmly on the floor and giving him an encouraging push on his upper back. "Come on. It's a short distance. We'll be laying in bed soon enough." Cuddled close enough he'll feel the heat of her flushed cheek and hear the pounding of her heart, no doubt, but what's that compared to all the benefits of sleeping beside one another?
Amelia's all smiles in spite of her nervousness once they're on their feet and making their way to his bedroom. Someday, it could be their bedroom, but tonight... tonight she's only a guest. A welcome one, maybe one every night hereafter, but still a guest. She only hopes she brings him the peace he's looking for. All she can offer now that he's voiced his thoughts and they've made plans for their people is to be here, and she'll do it gladly.
Now... and for however much longer they have together.
