It was far too easy to forget their problems when it was just the two of them like this. Outside the four walls of Tyb's room was a host of things out to get them, or at least that's what it felt like. Keeping this a secret, waiting it out, dealing with situations like this; it all felt like like one hurdle after the other and they just had to keep pushing on and hope they got no push back.

Despite the reason that propelled her here tonight, she'd done what she needed to do, they'd discussed it and now it was time to move on. Only Elsie really had no intention of moving at this very moment in time. The risk had already been taken, she was already here, and perhaps staying for a little while longer was just elongating the potential for problems, but she highly doubted Tyb was expecting any other company this evening. The risk was on her end, somebody looking for her in her room, but it was late and it wasn't like her family had any reason to randomly check in on her in the middle of the night.

She smiled at him softly when he pulled back, shaking off his apology with a fractional move of her head. There was no need for sorry, emotions were running high, they were in uncharted territory, she understood. She too was in the mood for something less complicated, to let everything else fade away and fall into him. Which was why, when he pulled her in, she was more than content to let it happen, meeting him with just a hint of desperation herself.

Finally, at least something was easy.
