thinking about resting with caine after a long day.
today's adventure had been rather... intense. normally, you were content to go through the adventures and then spend time resting at the circus afterwards, but today, the adventure had hit several specific triggers for you, and you were just really, really exhausted.
naturally, caine cannot let this stand. you're his angel, after all, he cannot allow you to be so tired and exhausted on his watch! He picks you up and teleports you both away to a secluded tower not too far from the rest of the circus. you can see the tent in the distance through a window.
"i don't come out here often," he admits almost shyly, placing you down gently on the bed, "but you look like a wreck. figured you'd get better rest up here than in your room."
you smile at how thoughtful he was trying to be. for as dense as he had a tendency to be sometimes, he could really be genuinely sweet when he really tried.
you ask him to stay with you. he says yes, of course. you end up cuddling with him, your head rest on his shoulder, him rambling on about ideas he has for adventures. you fall asleep with him like that, and caine fall in love with you a little more as you doze away in his arms.
