[ Why would she? He's been nothing but kind and supportive since they met in the ruins. Even when they discovered those horrible photographs, he took the time to ask after her. If anything, while she loves everyone she sees, his actions have made her adore him even more.
Lowering her hands, she gives him a more subdued yet meaningful smile. ]
Dimitri, you didn't recoil and look at me like I was a freak when I lifted that slab with you. Not only that, you even offered your hand to me. When I think about that, it reminds me of the demon slayers who are like home to me.
[ It's not the first mention of the demon slayers that he's heard, but is that what they are to each other? Home? His expression opens up, sincere in its softness. ]
I see. I'm glad I could give you a sense of home. It... it heartens me more than you know. But I don't think I did anything special. [ That anyone could think of her as a 'freak' was beyond him, anyway. ] If there is anything remarkable here, it is your love.
[ To care and smile so genuinely—what about that is anything short of amazing? ]
At a time as dark as this, to still have such a gracious heart is a triumph.
[ Oh. Given the hour, and for some other Reasons... staying at Waterfall Camp again might be a good idea. The invitation comes as a surprise, but soon enough he nods. ]
[ Wow, he's even inviting her to spend some time together between shifts. She finds herself continually tickled by his consideration. Beaming, she hops toward the camp with a wave at Dimitri. ]
I'm used to staying up at night, so I won't be long. If you feel like resting, just look for me inside. Stay safe, Dimitri!

I could stand guard, if you'd all have me there.

We'll take turns. Do you want the first watch?
no subject
Yes, I'll go first. Take as long a rest as you need, then join me for a while.
