He woke with the dawn, keyed up from his thoughts all night, and also the scents growing stronger as she moved through the night. Kai walked on quiet feet as he peeked in, and noting she was still sleeping, withdrew.

He went to the other exit and planned to pick up some supplies and maybe see what the markets have today. He hoped she would still be there, but wasn't expecting Nyra to stay.

So he was pleasantly surprised, and by pleasantly surprised, he was delighted. She hadn't left yet. Kai really hoped she wouldn't leave, not while smelling that delicious, but Nyra hadn't made any indication of her interest or lack thereof. So he had to shove down his eagerness and slowly developing need to not pressure her in any way.

Kai was quiet as he prepared breakfast, and carried it out on a tray he left near the bed.

He straightened up and noticed Nyra was stirring. Pitching his voice low and soft, he greeted her with a smile curving his mouth.

"Morning. Would you like breakfast?"
