"You fell asleep beside me," Satou interrupted gently. "That's all. Nothing inappropriate. Just two people resting after a traumatic day."
Relief flooded Seraphine's expression. "I wasn't sure. Sometimes my instincts kick in when I'm sleeping, and I..." She trailed off, embarrassed.
"You were fine," Satou assured her. "Actually, having you here helped. Made it easier to rest knowing someone was watching over me."
"I should check on my people," Seraphine said, but she didn't move. "Make sure the rebuilding is progressing. Reassure everyone that we survived."
"Probably," Satou agreed. "But you could also take another few minutes. Let yourself actually rest instead of immediately jumping back into demon lord responsibilities."
