Waking up for another morning in this place... in the outpost. The only thing keeping me sane is the one thing I can't even have until this is over which could be a long time. You opened your eyes after thinking for a second or two. To your surprise you saw Mina looking at you observing you from the corner of the bedroom next to the warmth of the fire. As the bitter cold consumed your body from tossing off the sheets you came over to her and sat down, she rapped her arms around you as you laid on her lap. "Good morning darling" she said sweetly to you, "good morning Mina" you replied nestled into her gown.

"Sleep well?" She asked as you rubbed your eyes from the soreness of waking up. "Better than I have previously" you laughed aching. She could tell you were sore because the beds aren't particularly comfortable but hers is made specifically for her back. "Maybe you should spend another night with me, you might sleep better" she spoke seriously as she asked the question. She wasn't sure what to make of it, what she had just said where things she never thought she would say. "Mina I'd love to, but what if we get caught?" You asked worried. "You don't need to worry about that, I'll protect you and besides I'm the most important person here. I make the rules remember. Nobody questions me" she said supporting the decision. "Tonight then for the first time since yesterday" you giggled since it hadn't even been a few days since the last time you stayed in her chambers.

"Tonight" she smiled at the thought of you. You were still in your nightgown so you got up careful not to rip yourself from her grip. She let go softly and allowed you to get changed. A lavender dress sat before you, as you turned around and lifted it to cover you she looked back smiling comfortably, "this one?" You asked politely and grinned at the sight of her smile knowing she loved it. "It looks beautiful (Y/N), and even better on you my love" 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘭𝘺𝘴 𝘪 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘪 𝘩𝘢𝘥.

You went to the bathroom to change and allowed yourself to slip out of the gown and put on this beautiful dress. You couldn't reach the zip so you stepped out of the bathroom and closed the door tossing your nighty into the laundry basket. "Mina could you zip up the dress for me I can't reach" you said still struggling to grab ahold of the small thing. "Of course I can darling you don't need to ask" she said delighted at the sight of you again. She came over with her cane limping slightly.
