Somewhere in the midst of the night she was was jolted awake by the sudden shift in the bed she was so comfortably lying in. "sorry. I didn't mean to wake you." her savior's voice was soft but deep. "How was your sleep. I hope your comfortable." he continues. She props herself up on her elbows and looks him in the eye. "Just who are you exactly." she asks sharply. He looks taken aback by her sudden hostility and he runs a hand through his hair. "My name is Dante but for some retarted reason, my friends call me hiccup," his hand flips through the air, "If you havent noticed yet, i'm quite important. But i managed to get away from my Kingly duties for awhile to see how your doing." she hadn't expected him to be so forward with her. Just hours before he seemed to not like to speak with her. She nods and inhales sharply, "Well i was doing just fine until you came in and sat down." His face doesn't change in the least but she sees the subtle hurt in his eyes. He exhales and leans oer to get her cup of juice. Apparently he likes orange juice. "And what is your name." he asks giving her the cup. "I'm Astrid." she says after taking a large gulp of the juice. He nods, "Astrid...What is your aspect." she smiles and says proudly, "Violence and hope." he laughs and sets his weapons on the floor next to the bed and settles under the covers. "Violence huh...lot of good that did you earlier today." She grimaces at his words and snarls. "well I am extremely young for an angel. I don't even know how to fight." The chuckle that comes after just irritates her even more. "why are you even here anyway, and why are you under the covers like your going to sleep here."
"Because I am going to sleep here. This is my bed after all."
Her eyes widen and she whips around to face him. "What! I'm in your bed! Why." He chuckles again. "Calm down girl its big enough for both of us. Twitchy will come wake us up in the morning and you will go get your wounds checked. Tomorrow is a new day and shall be treated as such." She deflates into the bed again. She feels him scoot ever closer to her and turn off the lamp on her nightstand before settling into a comfortable position to sleep in. She lets out a breath she didn't know she was holding when his light snore filled the silent room. She closes her eyes and hopes tomorrow will be better than today. Her life will never be the same, and surprisingly she doesn't feel put off in the least. She actually finds herself excited for the next day to come.
Sometime later a little rat looking thing came sauntering into the room and set a pitcher of orange juice on her nightstand and a few cookies. He crawled up onto the bed and cuddles against Dante seeking warmth. His tail drapes over Astrid almost protectively as he huddles against his side and her back.
