She watched confused as Celine walked away, when she came back she was holding a light blue silk pajama set and she handed it to her. "Here, I can leave while you change, then you can sleep here." She nodded, though she didn't want to be alone. Celine walked out, just waiting behind the door as Rose changed into the pajamas, she quietly called out to her when she couldn't pull the shirt over her head. Celine had assumed she was done and walked in, blushing seeing her and the way she was looking up at her, "can you help, please?" she asked quietly. She nodded and moved closer to her, holding her arms up as she carefully pulled the shirt onto her. "Thank you." Rose mumbled, slightly embarrassed.

Celine smiled and nodded, gently picking her up again and getting her tucked into her bed. "There you go," Celine went to turn away but Celine held onto her arm lightly, looking up at her with a little bit of desperation, "can you stay with me?" Celine blushed slightly and nodded, she went to grab a chair but Rose shook her head. Celine tilted her head "hm?," Rose's voice went a bit quieter, "In the bed, please.." she nodded and slowly climbed into bed beside her.

Rose almost instantly felt herself relax, she laid her head on the pillow and scooted closer so they were just slightly touching. "Thank you.. For- for everything." Celine smiled and stroked her hair gently, "of course, i'm sorry if it's weird for you.." Rose shook her head lightly, "there's not much at home for me to miss." Celine frowned softly but nodded, "I understand, I hope you can enjoy it here." She smiled and nodded, "I am, it's nice.. You're nice," Celine smiled. " I'm glad you think so."

When Rose awoke hours later she was being held tight by her, her head was nuzzled comfortably in her chest. At first she thought she should pull away, but the warmth she felt from her and how she felt so safe and calm close to her, she couldn't. She closed her eyes again and took a deep inhale, letting this feeling take her over and forgetting everything else. After a while, but what felt like no time at all to her Celine started to wake up. Opening her eyes she saw Rose cuddled up to her and her arms wrapped around her, she smiled softly and started to rub her back. Rose leaned into her hand, showing Celine that she was awake unintentionally. "Good Morning love", she said softly in her silky voice.

Rose blushed and smiled "mm good morning." After staying and laying with each other they got up, got dressed and headed back down to the common corridor. Rose's hair had gotten messed up in her sleep, she sat with Celine by the fire as she brushed it then braided it again for her. For the rest of the day they just lounged and got to know each other, until Celine saw Rose just staring out the window.

She walked over to her and placed her hand on her shoulder, asking her quietly "do you want to leave?..." Rose looked up at her and quickly shook her head "no- no, I was just thinking about being out there, in the sun." Celine relaxed and nodded, "well.." she knew it was a risk, but she wanted nothing more than to make her happy, "I can take you out there."
