The ranger complied with her wish, nodding as the girl took the blanket from his hands, and turning his back to her as she requested. He'd have been lying if he had said much of him hadn't hoped she would agree to removing her clothing... though, it would matter little since she would cover herself with the blanket regardless. Not that he had had any actual designs toward her, though there did seem to be a steady intent in him, growing the longer she was near... a need to find her, a need to take her... and now a need to claim her. And it grew... as surely as that warm, sweet scent grew within the tent the longer she sat there, close to him.<br/><br/>And that wonderful scent only seemed to grow even stronger as he turned to face her, now disrobed beneath the blanket. Angelis took a moment to light a candle so that they were not sitting in grim darkness. Her skin, so blessed by the sun and flawless with youth, practically glowed in the dancing light of the candle now sitting nearby. That scent compelled him... pushed him to act, even as he resisted its influence... it felt like the beast in him was ramming at its cage to be let out to do with the fair young lady as it wished.<br/><br/>Angelis watched the girl shiver beneath the blanket, even removed from her wet clothing. He distracted himself by reaching and taking her discarded garments. He carefully spread them out in an attempt to let them dry. "I lament the loss of a fire on a night like this... the rains will bring more cold than there would have been otherwise. But... at least we will have a warm body near. Perhaps... when we are out of these lands, and certain we are free of whatever pursues you, we will be able to afford a fire again." His words rung nothing if not true. Already, with the static hiss of rain outside the tent, the temperature was dropping even further by the minute, and the chill would become unbearable by the middle of the night. Certainly a night foretelling of winter's coming.<br/><br/>Angelis, in an effort to help the girl feel less self-conscious, began to undress himself, as well. Pulling another blanket up once he was left in his own underwear, he stretched out beside her on the bedroll. "I know it won't be terribly comfortable, since this bedroll is usually meant for only one. But we will make it work." At this point, Angelis hooked his arm around the girl's midsection and pulled her close. He was strong and did not give her an opportunity to resist, but he was gentle as he was firm. "We will simply have to be close..."
