He had the grace to flush slightly at her comments, his eyes fixed on her mouth as she licked her lips, before sighing as he went to sit up again and watching her carefully.
“… I can go take care of that, if it’s making you uncomfortable. Unfortunate side effect of being my age.” He shrugged lightly, trying to play it off as not a big deal even as pink creeped up to the tips of his ears.
Tink sat with him and grabbed his arm, shaking her head. She didn’t feel uncomfortable. She knew it was normal, but she didn’t want him to take care of it. She had a sudden urge to do that herself. She just wasn’t sure if he would allow her. She bit her lip and looked down.
“No, I don’t feel uncomfortable at all,” she told him honestly. “You don’t have to go and take care of it,” she added. “I could…help,” she finished, letting her eyes meet his; hoping he would get the hint.
He raised both his eyebrows at her offer, swallowing almost nervously. “Aren’t you… I mean, you’re not too worn out for… something?”
He admitted to himself that it would be nice to have some outside help for once, but if she was worn out, he’d send her right out of the room or he’d leave himself so she could get more rest. He slept plenty every night so being up this early (it wasn’t even noon yet!) wouldn’t be too horrible for him.
