Daphne had shed her armour and layers down to her thin under shirt and left them in a neat pile with her swords resting on the top of the pile and a neatly folded set of leather gambeson below. She was still a soldier and guard training kicked in automatically as before Daphne climbed into bed, it was warm by the fire and it made the violet eyed woman feel especially sleepy. 

“They are, it was…tough but worth it. He was a hard master but a good one.” Daphne remembered saying to Katherine as they talked and snuggled up together, her arm fell across the smaller cute priestess waist with an ease that she had not felt before. [color=f49ac2]“Today been….nice to be with you. Cute Kat. Feel, safe and warm. a good thing.”[/color] Daphne said tiredly the warmth and gentle press of Kat against her sent the Squire quickly to sleep light a light went out. 

She grumbled an unknown hours later when her warmth and feel of her friend.. with cuddles? whatever they were left and  her return she made a content sigh as she resumed to Snuggle into a shared embrace together wordlessly and resumed their rest. Daphne honestly needed the rest and it was too cold to want to leave the covers, rest was exactly the cure, especially as she anticipated a whole bunch of issues in the morning to deal with when the clean up and day after the attack came around. 

Whatever this was she felt something between them resumed when Katherine returned and she had no idea what this bond was but it felt like it was something she wanted. For the first time in a long time Daphne felt comfortable like she had a home of a sort again? A … something that made her feel safe and rested in a way that was more than just sleep. 

Maybe it was just the soothing atmosphere of the temple, or Katherine had bypassed her walls freely. 

…

Morning came too soon as she finally cracked her violet eyes open with an effort of wills as she wanted to remain warm and let someone else have duty today. But that was not something that could be put off forever. [color=f49ac2]“Good morning Kat, This is a good dream”[/color] Daphne said with a smile and glitter to those rare eyes, even in her homeland the violet was uncommon. 

The Squire gave a content noise as she with a show of her playful side warmed her cooler feet on Kat while they were still tangled up together and gently moved to let Kat rest against her shoulder and be aide to soft side. [color=f49ac2]“Don,t want to get up. But someone will come chasing us if not.”[/color] She said not fully awake and yawned as they took a few quiet minutes to enjoy the last of this little luxury until the world forced them to wake up and face the day. 

Daphne volunteered to put some more logs on the embers and poke them to life, draping her furs over shoulder as she grabbed a poker to warm the room back up. That was one thing about the Eye, Sya never let the fires stop in the main bar and that caused at least some degree of widespread warmth about all of the rooms close in that part of the Inn above it. 

A little poking and some kindling later Daphne had the fire burning again and warmth began to return as she worked on the small fire. [color=f49ac2]“You needed the rest Kat, next time you sort the fire, I get to watch you in your thin nightgown or less one day.”[/color] Daphne said kindly but cheekily with a flirty smile and hoped that this would not be a one time thing, she really wanted to see where all this went as she absentmindedly swished some hairs out her hopefully future mornings together with a friend eye for her. The neat braid had got jostled over the night.
