Between the two of them, Jamie and Carl easily had Nadia was blushing profusely with all the praise and general kindness they were showing her. It made her feel awkward to be fawned over and petted and cared for, but it was soothing to just let them take care of her. The unusual emotions it all caused just got lumped together with every other strange emotion she was going to have to study and explore later. She was not used to being taken care of... she was certainly not used to needing it.  But, as she relaxed, they relaxed, and as they became more calm and natural, so did she. It was strange to be relying on them so heavily so soon, but after everything that had just happened between them... how could their not be a relationship there?<br/><br/>"A knot tying lesson?" she asked with a note of disbelief as Carl gently steered her around. She didn't mind the weight of his arm over her shoulders, it was comforting, but she still gave him an 'are you serious?' look as he handed the rope over to Jamie. Sure enough, the blonde began to explain each step, showing Nadia exactly what she had done to tie her up. At first, she felt a little uncomfortable with the whole thing, but Jamie and Carl both seemed very happy with the whole situation. Carl in particular seemed very interested, so much so that Nadia started to wonder what was going on behind the innocent smile that was settled on his lips.<br/><br/>Nadia laughed nervously at Jamie's little quip about keeping circulation in her hands. It was relaxing to laugh, but she was still timid as she picked up the rope and began to go through the motions as Jamie had shown her. Honestly, it seemed to look easier than it was... or maybe she just kept fumbling because she was so nervous. Either way, it took Nadia several tries before she finally got the knots right. They all laughed at the silly mistakes, and Jamie was a very tolerant teacher, but when she finally got the damn things right, Nadia couldn't resist a little shout of celebration.<br/><br/>"Hey! There we go, about damn time," she laughed as she gentle pinched a few of Jamie's fingers, watching how the color of her skin changed and how quickly fluid rushed back. Circulation was obviously important, but fluid retention was a danger, too. She only knew about it from some wire-work she had gotten the chance to do last year while working with some college students, but the little fact seemed like a good thing to watch for... just encase. "Thank you... both of you. It's actually kinda nice knowing what you did and how it works. It's... less intimidating... you know.. knowing.. And it is really nice to know that you know what you are doing." Nadia was teasing Jamie a little as she reached up to start untying the blonde. At least... she had intended to... but the look she caught from Carl made her freeze... What<i>was</i>he thinking?
