'Cute,' he says, like someone would about a grave matter. It's a bit comical to hear without seeing the mild upturn of his lips. It makes her smile though in spite of how bad she feels so that's something too.

"Bluh," she lets out once her feet find solid ground again. It actually feels uneven and she only doesn't wobble thanks to that hand. Wasn't being carried and taken care of supposed to make her feel better? This blows. "Not exactly how I imagined bringing a man back to my place, but this place keeps surprising me," she can't help but poke fun. It is certainly strange for her though. Everything here has been.

"You can come in but I have some things to do before I can rest. Mostly just, like, checking the garden and that I have enough food since they mentioned maybe bad weather this month..." She's already walking inside, trailing off and wandering like a woman on a mission and not one who should be taking it easy.
