It was a nice inn, with two beds per room. In one of the rooms, Sheena groused, "I can't believe I got stuck with YOU, Zelos." Her temper flared, "You'd better not try anything!"
Zelos raised his hands defensively. "Whoa whoa whoa! Why do you have to be so prickly, hunny? It's not like we're sharing the same bed!"
Sheena glared at him. "I wouldn't put it past you to try something. Anyway, turn around. I want to get into my nightclothes."
Zelos hesitated. "Um…will you turn around, too?"
Sheena grinned. "Modesty from you? Hehe. Okay, fine."
Zelos darted to his pack, and pulled something out. He whispered to it, "I don't want her to find out about you, Snoogy."
Sheena finished her nightly ritual, and turned around. "…Okay, I'm do—Zelos, did you just put a teddy bear under the blanket?" She had a grin blooming on her face.
Zelos' eyes darted. "Um. No. Of course not."
"You DID!" she laughed. "I can see the lump in the bed!"
Shame-faced, Zelos said "If you tell people, I'll deny it. "
Sheena was still laughing. "You sleep with a teddy bear? That's so CUTE!" She moved around her bed, and gave him a hug. She was surprisingly strong.
When she'd released him, Zelos said carefully, like a person checking the evidence, "…Did you just hug me?"
Sheena grinned. "Yes, but if you tell people, I'll deny it."
