[ The rest of the process is relatively quick. Mey-Rin takes a few moments to change into a set of comfortable pajamas while removing her high ponytails in favor of two lower ones.

Once the tea is fetched, she heads to Riza's room with a careful and gentle three knocks before entering. ]

I hope chamomile is okay. I thought warm milk might be too heavy.

[ The door is carefully closed behind her as she walks forward to set the mug down on the bedside table. ]

... It has been a long time since I've shared a bed with someone. I hope I don't hog the blankets too much.
the_adjutant: (And we are beginning)

No, no. It sounds delightful.

[ Riza is sitting at the edge of her bed, dressed in her own pajamas. She looks (and no doubt feels) tired. In fact, she's been sitting here trying to summon the energy to clamber the rest of the way into bed. ]

I'm sure you'll be fine, Mey.

[ She takes a breath. ]

I just... I would like to be close to someone tonight.

[ With the tea set where Riza can easily reach it, Mey-Rin climbs to sit on the bed's opposite side. The sleeves of her own nightclothes covering the various scars managing to hide the scars scattered over her arms. ]

I understand.

[ While Riza hadn't wanted to go into what went down in the Down in detail, from the way she was carrying herself it was clear that it would be a lot for anyone to take. Military experience be damned. She reaches out a hand to rest on Riza's shoulder before leaning forward to place a small, cautious kiss to her cheek. ]

I'll be here as long as you need me, Miss Riza. I'm happy you're back, so I don't mind at all.
the_adjutant: (It's off to work you go)

[personal profile] the_adjutant 2021-05-25 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

[ Riza closes her eyes, seeming to enjoy the kiss. The brush of physical contact. Slowly, she manages to heave herself over into bed and sprawls out, feeling quietly drained. On the floor, Black Hayate is making himself comfortable. Riza picks up the cup of tea and sips briefly, then lets her head rest back against the pillows. ]

I'm glad you're here, Mey.
