[The idea of Scott winking at anybody's girlfriend almost makes her laugh, a quiet, exhausted sound, and she closes her eyes and nestles more comfortably in against him to listen. It's different than being on the roof with Aigis -- there, the sun had been shining warmly, the breeze off the sea had been cool, and Aigis's legs had been firm. Scott's her source of warmth here in the middle of the cool night air, his lap the most comfortable place she's ever rested her head.
It wouldn't be bad to go like this. Knowing that even if it'll hurt him, he's promised to move on... it's hard, but it's what she needed to know, too. Death had never been something she'd been afraid of, and her new fear, what others might do without her, had been soothed, too.
The hint of a smile on her lips stays there until eventually, she falls asleep to the sound of his voice. So after all those dramatics, she's almost surprised to wake up naturally in the morning with the light of the sun and a crick in her neck, blinking a few times with confusion. Is this...?]
