[ tucked against the corner of the couch, head lolling a bit as he dazes, an arm loosely wrapped around nathan's waist. the touch is as unintrusive as it gets -- relaxed and open so that nathan can get away anytime he wishes. twitches once in a while in his daze, however, still relatively aware as people appears & disappears in the map in his head. ]

[ starts laughing, putting an arm around his shoulders. ]

< I'm guessing this is your first time eating this kind of ice cream. >

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ bumps his head gently against hers. ]

< But this ice cream is good too. >

[amusieren.livejournal.com]

[ nods a few times, munching on her own ice cream. ]

< So! Where is this famous 15-minute away store located? >

< We took the wrong turn! >

[amusieren.livejournal.com]

< ... not surprised! >

[ swerves them in the other direction, hoping they're finally going the right way. ]

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ seems to forget the ice cream for a bit, head going left & right before he starts tugging her along again. ]

< This way! >

[amusieren.livejournal.com]

[ salutes him, going along willingly. ]

< Yes, sir! >

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ only glances back at her when they're well within seeing distance of the building, a sudden thought striking him. ]

< Hilda! Do you want to stay with me while you're visiting. . . ? You can have my bed! >

[amusieren.livejournal.com]

< How about we share the bed instead? >

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

< . . . ! Like back at home! >

< Yes, exactly! >

[amusieren.livejournal.com]

[ hums, thinking about it. ]

< Brings back memories. How about I read you a bedtime story, too? >

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ nods excitedly. ]

< I brought the books you gave me with me! >

[amusieren.livejournal.com]

< Oh, good! I brought many more to give you for your collection, too! >

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

< Really? Did Hilda read them already? >

[amusieren.livejournal.com]

[ reaches over to ruffle his hair with a hand. ]

< Briefly. I had to make sure that they were good enough for my most favorite person ever, after all! >
