[counterfaith]

Should I be?

[constellationprize]

Oh - no, I -

I love you, so I wouldn't do anything strange . . .

[counterfaith]

Is that so? Well, thank you, then.

[constellationprize]

Mm. Whether . . .

[ it's -

for whatever reason (tm) as she trails off she seems deep in thought, momentarily - snapping back there is a distinct confusion in her gaze, as if waking up from a long dream ]

... Oh. I'm sorry, I started to say something but got distracted, didn't I...? ... What were we talking about?

[counterfaith]

Ah—my.

I think you should retire for the night, miss. Though your company was pleasant, there is nothing to gain from resisting sleep.

[constellationprize]

That's really nice of you to say... Thank you for worrying over me. But we both know that I can't do that, don't we?

[counterfaith]

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean.

[constellationprize]

If someone came to this church looking for help, and I was asleep - that'd be unacceptable, wouldn't it?

Even if I'm a little tired, I can't abandon the people that might come here to visit.

[counterfaith]

I see.

At the very least, then, you could stand to have some covering. It gets cold at night.

[ glancing around to see if there are any blankets available . . . ]

[constellationprize]

[ are there. are we going to do catholic blanketfic ]

And what about you...? Your cloak doesn't look very thick, does it?

[counterfaith]

[ there probably are for the homeless and stuff but he does consider against it and then, instead, pulls off his shroud, wrapping it around her shoulders and securing it ]

I'm quite used to colder temperatures; I'm alright.

[constellationprize]

... That won't do, will it?

[ she grips it lightly around her shoulders, peering thoughtful at his face ... ]

Aren't you a visitor here, too? I should be the one taking care of you.

[ and slowly making to pull it free, ]

Besides that, even if I'm sure I could defend both of us if something happened again, it won't be any good for you to get cold, right?

[counterfaith]

[ just secures it on her again. ]

You misunderstand, miss. Between the two of us, I will be the one protecting you—and besides that, the cold will help me concentrate.

Please, don't worry about it.

[constellationprize]

That's very kind of you, but even if you say that...

[ she'll still worry. of course.

without taking it off this time, she just reaches up to attempt patting at his head ]

I'm sure you're really strong, but it's alright if you rest, too.

[counterfaith]

[ ,,

headpats,, ??? ]

I'll have time to rest. ... Truthfully, as the least experienced member, I'm tasked with the least dangerous area. So, I'm sure this night won't be too eventful.

[constellationprize]

[ ... gottem

just starts to stroke at his hair, gentle. you know the way she does that thing she does ]

Then I'll continue keeping you company, but you should stay warm, too...

Why don't I make us some tea?

[ is this church new enough to have its own kitchen ]

[counterfaith]

[ it's like

the 60's. ]

. . . Tea does sound lovely. Thank you.

[ just . . . letting her pet . . . kind of stiff . . . ]

[constellationprize]

[ nice.

she withdraws her hand to stand and head into the kitchen, offering a soft smile ]

Are you alright...?

[counterfaith]

Of course—do I seem any different?

[constellationprize]

You seemed a little worried about something... If you want to talk, then we have a few hours, don't we?

We can sit here in the pews, but if there's something serious, then there's a confessional on the premises -

[ there's a pause, as she seems to think a moment and correct herself, ]

... Here in the church, if there's something that you want to say . . .

[counterfaith]

. . . If I had to say anything, it is simply that I am not used to being patted on the head—so I was somewhat startled. Still, I did not want to alarm you, so I did try to tone edown my reaction . . .

[constellationprize]

Oh ...

If you want, I'll pat you a lot more when I come back, okay?

[counterfaith]

—You're far too kind, I'm alright. . .

[constellationprize]

Okay, okay.

[ and turning on her heel to leave.

google says it is old enough to reasonably have a kitchen but does it have tea, ]

[counterfaith]

[ realistically it probably has wildflower tea but he also has never actually had tea in this church before so it's whatever dream logic is dream ]
