[PAST] Breaking Your Resolve — Like a Siren in the Deep

Nairn tipped his head, and his fingers finally let go of her braids. He leaned back on the couch, and hummed thoughtfully. Could do with some snuggles. And a good sleep, early morning. It'd been dumb to stay and drink, after they'd kicked the shit out of the guy.

When she stated how she might braid his hair, he raised his eyebrows, and let his gaze focus on her. Don' see why not. Nothin' too visible, though. He reached out to tap her chin, thumb trailing across her cheek, Being here right now, letting you mark me hic that outright, could make you a target. 'lotta people don't like me, he stated, letting his hand trail down her arm, slowly but sure in his motions.

Wanna keep you outta the limelight. The message was clear. Publicly, he'd be single — even if he did let her knot the underlayer of his hair, and hide it in the braid itself.
