Later that night, Crystal helped Ondolemar change his dressing. She took a warm rag and gently daubed at them before slathering ointment along the length of the wounds. The Altmer enjoyed her touch, although winced from the pain of his wounds being tended to. Crystal then wrapped the bandages, making sure that the layers were thick enough to protect the wounds while they were healing. During the whole process, Crystal marvelled at Ondolemar's lean yet well-developed muscles inadvertently letting her hands wander. It was a while before she snapped out of it.
As Crystal hopped off of the bed, Ondolemar grabbed her hand.
"Is there something you need...?" Crystal asked, blushing a bit.
"I-if you want to..." Ondolemar started. He continued, offering, "... you are welcome to sleep in my private quarters..."
"Won't you have a place to sleep...?" Crystal asked naively.
"I can share my bed..." Ondolemar said, blushing. He continued, "It does have room for more than one person..."
This offer caused Crystal to blush a deep red. She never had anyone offer to share their bed in such a polite way before, besides Farkas before the poor werewolf's death. Usually Erikur was more rude and persistent, even trying to toss Septims at her to make her sleep with him, yet she refused. But Ondolemar and Farkas were more polite... and honest. While Crystal never got to be bedded by Farkas, her stomach leapt at the thought of Ondolemar getting to.
She grabbed her nightgown and changed into it. It was sheer, and she wasn't used to anyone really seeing her naked, so she put on a robe to cover up. She then grabbed some clothing and proceeded to Ondolemar's sleeping quarters.
When she was there, she approached Ondolemar, unsure of what's happening. She carefully got into the bed with him lying there.
He stroked her face, marvelling the beauty underneath. He then held her small body close to his, marvelling at its warmth.
"Lady Crystal..." Ondolemar said, his voice taking on a more vulnerable tone.
"Yes...?" Crystal responded.
"I..." He started. He then said, "Thank you... for your kindness..."
"You're welcome..." Crystal responded.
Ondolemar's vivid emerald eyes were fixed on Crystal's sapphire blue eyes as he drifted off to sleep along with Crystal. For once, he didn't feel alone. Crystal fell asleep being lulled by the Altmer man's heartbeat. The manor was silent except for the harmony of chirping crickets.
