"Yeah. Me, too." he murmured, kissing her forehead before pulling her flush against him so he could wrap his arms around her, a hand curled against the crown of her head to tuck it against his chest so he could bend and kiss the top of it comfortably.

For just a second, it was nice to just hold her, share some of her body heat, breathe in the smell of her shampoo. It cleared away the shadows of the past that thoughts of his native world brought, brought back the sharp edges of the present, crisp as rays of sunlight and bright as diamonds.

...or the glitter of an enchanted pennant flying outside the entry to a Harvest festival...

"Hey, I almost forgot!" he murmured, coming back to life as he lifted his head and drew back enough to look down into her face. "I didn't come here to have fun, I came here to do recon--so I can have fun with you. You busy tomorrow night? You and me, hit the carnival. This place is a lot like a Harvest festival, great place for a date night. We'll check out some rides, play a few games, it'll be fun! You game?"
