Makoda gave Lugoj a rather owlish look as he spoke. Suddenly she giggled, a sure sign of just how tired she was. After a few heartbeats she got herself under control. "Gods and Demons, Above and Below! I must be tired. I am sorry. It was not really funny." She tried hard to look serious but a sudden yawn spoiled the affect. When she was done, she caught him playing with her Soul Fire. She smiled at him and shook her head. "You and I are more alike me thinks than we are different."<br/><br/>When he started to move away to leave, her hand shot out, slow to her eyes, but still fast and caught a lock of his hair, twirling it around a finger. "I care not what anyone says, you are alright in my book." She looked back at him and dropped her hand, letting his hair slide off her finger. "Stay safe..." A yawn interrupted her and her eyes drifted shut. "...Friend." By the time Lugoj would move off the bed, Makoda's even breathing would tell him she was fast asleep, the rose held fast in her hand.
