Clarice was a heavy sleeper, when she wasn't having nightmares. It came of never knowing when she'd get a good night's sleep again. Still, she was not a still sleeper. That meant she rolled and twisted some in the night; her frozen peas slipping down between herself and Bill some time around three in the morining.

And well, she shifted where her head was resting too. Next to his on the pillow, his shoulde,r his chest. It was probably past dawn when she settled with her head on his belly, still asleep.

Well, small town, she had to actually think about these claiming issues!

"Oh, not chivalry, but chivalry in disguise?" she chuckled and nibbled his ear before he shuffled blankets around. When she was set down she wiggled out of her own towel and tossed it aside, then scooted over to make room for Bill. "I could deal with chivalry in disguise I guess."

With the towel gone he took a moment to admire her, before joining her.

"I just wanted t'be sure you weren't gonna laugh," he admitted, "You do like pokin' fun at me."

She stretched shamelessly under his gaze and trailed fingers over his hip, "I do, but all in fun. I like how you smile when you know I'm teasing."

From:

"Yeah, I know." He smiles, and hesitates, maybe having more to say but decides to let it go.

There's a naked woman in his bed, so he's going to go ahead and put his arm around her and pull her closer.

Ah, did you just cut yourself short there Bill? DID YOU?! She saw it. She did! "Hmmm, you were thinking something lover, saw it in your eyes." She snuggled against his chest and tugged the blankets up over them so he didn't have to be distracted from his thought!

He trailed his palm down her arm to cover her hand curled in the blanket.

"Nah, it's nothin'," he replies quietly. "I was just gonna say, I know I sometimes let my small town show. Been others who've held that against me, so I don't mind the teasin' from you."

It's a much nicer reaction, especially because he knows she means it all in a good way.

Once she was done pulling up the blankets she turned her hand over to curl her fingers with his. "I think you're charming, small town and all. And I fully expect you to call me on the teasing if it gets mean." Because she knew a bad mood to make hr bitchy!

He squeezed her fingers.

"You ain't been mean t'me once, even when you had the right to be." Like the several occasions he got himself falling down drunk.

"I ain't really afraid of you, y'know. I mean, I'm pretty sure you could kick my ass, but it don't seem like you'd hurt me." Which was a big change from the last woman he'd fallen for.

"Wouldn't stay under the same roof with someone I'd have to hurt," she admitted, tucking her nose against his neck. What? Her nose was cold! "And being feared is really, really overrated."

From:

That wasn't exactly what he'd meant, but maybe she'd understood anyways. He was content enough to leave it alone, holding her tighter as she snuggled in closer.

"I'm glad you're stayin' here. An' I'm glad y'think I'm charmin'."

Smiling to himself, he bends to kiss her forehead, then resettles; letting out a slow, happy sigh.

"Sleep you silly man," she chuckled softly against his chest. "I'll be right here when you wake up, I promise." For today anyway. The Timebroker would have to peel her out of Bill's bed if he showed up today!
