On the way...

"Thank you."

"For what?"

She shifts abit in your embrace, before answering. "You helped me greatly. Without you, this would not be possible. Thank you. And also... for saving me back there... keeping me safe... I know you did not have to do that."

"Don't worry about it," you say cooly. "I'm sure were our roles reversed, you'd do the same thing."

Raven leans her head back against your chest, feeling the rise and fall of your beathing. Although you do not need to breathe, sometimes pretending that you still need to reminds you of your life back on your home planet, before Galactus came. You remember how he was about to consume your planet, and how you made that deal with him... the deal that would change your life forever... the very same deal that prevented you from ever going back to Zenn-La.

Raven places her hands over yours, clasped in front of her body. Soon, you arrive at a small apartment, and you know it is hers because of your telepathy. She does not seem to realize or question how you know where she lives. You enter through the open window, and she reluctantly lets go of your hands, and hops onto the floor.

"I don't know whats next, Norrin... If you want, you can rest here tonight. You certainly deserve at least that from me."

"I am rather tired," You lie. "Where can I sleep?" You don't require sleep, but she does not know that.

"Well, there is only the one bed, but I can sleep on the floor, I don't mind." You put on a look of indignity on your face. "Absolutely not. You take the bed... I don't care."

"Look," she says "Why don't we share the bed... I don't mind if you don't..."

"Of course I don't. As long as you are comfortable with it."

"I trust you" She smiles.
