Viktor's warm chuckle rumbled through his chest, making Alicia smile broadly. "But you're not supposed to refuse me," she teased him with a chuckle, "so you're doing it right, love." As much as she valued and took pride in her independence, she trusted Viktor implicitly and had no qualms about letting her guards down completely when she was with him. With him she didn't have to worry that snuggling like this, actively seeking his embrace made her seem weak.
Slowly, meditatively, she brushed the tips of her fingers up and down his forearm, listening to his assurances about their future together. She loved hearing him talk about their family, their children; it had become like favourite bedtime story, though it wasn't only at bedtime they would talk about it. "We'll keep them safe," she agreed with him. Never having been one to have trouble sleeping – actually she only needed a place she could make herself relatively comfortable – being tilted those last few degrees when Viktor leaned back, was enough for her to slip from not being able to keep her eyes open and into a light sleep. It didn't take long before her breathing was slow an deep and her caress of Viktor's forearm came to a stop, as her hand went slack.
