She turned over on her belly, rolling over on his chest, and rested her chin on her crossed hands. Brilliant blue eyes peered up at her from underneath, sparkling fondly, and a smile graced his features.
"We really should get back from midday rest, Baby Power."
They had retreated to the quiet of the Garden during the rest of midday, and had fallen into a comfortable silence in the warm patch of sun they had found among the soft grass, even fell into a light slumber to the lullaby of the birds above them.
"Do we have to, Nis?"
"I have a duty to."
She pouted, "But you have a duty to protect the fledglings too."
The Power raised an eyebrow at her, tilting his head to the side in confusion, and she poked him in the chest lightly with her lower hand crossed under her chin still.
"I do have such a duty, yes?"
"And what if I have a bad dream?", she looked up at him with wide eyes, "When I finish out the rest of my nap all alone on the hard, hard ground?"
"I see," he smiled at her, raising one of his arms from over her lower back, and brushed a finger down the bridge of her nose fondly, "You only want me to stay so you can continue to use me as your resting mat."
"And to protect me, Nis, and to protect me."
"From the bad dreams?"
She nodded and he smiled at her gently, nodding slowly as he came to a mock understanding, "I see. You would chose me to stand as your protector from these dreams that would dare cause you fear?"
"Like my own knight."
Nisroc nodded, "Alright, and if my Commander comes looking for me?"
"I will tell him you are diligently doing your duty in protecting little me from the fearsome dreams."
He kissed her nose, rubbing his hand down the back of her head, "Take your nap, Baby Power, I will protect you from your bad dreams."
"Love you, Nis."
"And I, you."
