Tipping her head up, she turned over her words carefully in her mind before she finally smiled. One hand rose and she gently traced his face with the tips of her fingers. "I made sure that you are still alive and in this world. And that is a wonderful thing."

Snuggling deeper into him, she let her hand fall away to just rest against his chest. She started to purr so very softly there against his chest before smiling just a bit. "I can try to change the shape of the head band so he can't trace it to me... and we can get money." She didn't want to leave a trail of ruin in their haste to run away. "Something warmer would be nice..." Even if heavy clothes bothered here now.

"Mm.. now you'll have someone watching over you. I'd say it's about time." It made her feel happy. Useful. Even important. The realization that they needed each other was... rather nice.

Holding his gaze, the purr deepened just a little and became more audible. "I don't either... but I'm glad it's you."
