I have a specific thinking face? What's it look like?

[She'll give him a serious answer too, it's just going to take another minute. She wanted to be able to put it into words that wouldn't just immediately make him think she was being too hard on herself or something, cause she knew it could sound like that but she didn't think she was. Also there was a lot, now he had just asked her flat out what she was thinking, things she hadn't even realized she was thinking.]

I - I mean I could have avoided this. If I had - been more careful. And I know you aren't going to ask me to do that, but that doesn't mean you don't want to ask me to do that, and there's plenty of other people too that worry, that would worry more if they knew about this, and they have asked me to be careful and I don't and doesn't that make me kind of an asshole? I mean -

and I hate hospitals. I'm thinking I hate hospitals, when Bran had his accident we couldn't bring him home for months, and what if the whole family did find out and I was the one dragging them all back into a hospital?

and what if - no. no, never mind.

Uhhh... kinda like this?

[Peter did his best to imitate her thinking face. It was kind of like a brow slightly furrowed in a quiet, contemplative way. He wasn't sure if he properly conveyed how attractive her thinking face was. Probably not important in the long run.]

Do you think you did the wrong thing? Like morally wrong? And if you were more careful... how many times have you done something good because you weren't careful? And yeah it would suck for your family... but it's the fault of the person that stabbed you.

Hmm. That's not a bad thinking face.

[It made her smile, even amidst the serious talk which had her tenser again. That was important, both short run and long run.]

No, I don't think I did something morally wrong. Actually not doing something morally wrong is why she was - is? - angry with me, I'm pretty sure.

I've done plenty of both good and bad things when I wasn't being careful. I'm not sure what you mean?

I guess I'm just saying... don't blame yourself? Or try not to. But if you feel like you need to be more alert or whatever... that's also on the cult.

[Peter felt like he wasn't explaining himself very well. Probably because "don't blame yourself" was probably the most hypocritical thing he could have ever said. The difference was that what happened to Uncle Ben was his fault, this wasn't hers.]

I don't know what I'm feeling. Seems like everything. Definitely too much, anyways.

But I'll try not to be all blamey at myself. [Which... she did not so much think she would succeed at, but if he was so certain - at least she's going to try not to think about it at all for the rest of the night, and that's almost the same thing. Right?]

They can be very irritating, feelings.

Okay, I think that's fair enough.

[Peter felt like he couldn't really ask for more and if she said she was going to try to then he knew that she would. In the meantime he'd continue to just hold her and run his fingers through her hair.]

They can be. That scar is going to be bad ass though.

In other news: Sansa believes you're capable of keeping me from getting into any worse of a scrap than I already have, so you should feel proud of that. Especially since she doesn't even know you have, you know, abilities.

[That was a nice distracting thought, for all that it might not be exactly complimentary to her, Arya definitely felt like she was bragging about him, and she very much liked bragging about him.]

It's definitely badass. Might also be hideous, though. Still going to want to see me naked?

Yeah my plan for that is to keep you so distracted with sex and snuggles and good conversation that you have a lot less time to get into trouble.

[Which was kind of true. He wasn't doing those things to keep her out of trouble but that probably was contributing to it.]

Maybe not? A bad ass scar will make you even more sexy and I almost can't handle how sexy you are now. I'll just have to see you naked a lot to get used to it and then I'll be fine I guess.

That's a very good plan. If this were a different type of injury, I'd see what we could make a heart monitor do and if it would actually alert the nurses.

[It was contributing to it. Also contributing was that she really really didn't want to worry Peter in particular, which Sansa also said (in a particularly Haha you're soft way) but Arya wasn't going to pass that along.]

Oh, no. How are you going to cope with having to see me naked a lot?

No we definitely don't want the nurses coming in during any of... that.

[Because that would get them kicked out. The thrill of maybe getting hot was super hot of course but Peter wasn't sure how he felt about things when it was basically guaranteed someone would catch them.]

I'll just have to suffer through it and get used to it.

No? Not even if I were just kissing you very very thoroughly?

[She probably wouldn't do it anyways - the nurses are at work, it hardly seemed fair to make them see that - but talking about it has her smiling again.]

The sacrifices you make for me, honestly.

Oh no that's always okay to do, you can do that whenever you want to, no questions asked.

[Arya's kisses were amazing. Maybe the most amazing thing about them was how she had so many different types and they were all so good. She could excited him or soothe him or just... make him feel good all with kisses.]

Yeah I'm just that kind of guy. Want to know a secret though?

Well, I'm glad we got that cleared up.

[Obviously she has to kiss him after he says that, although it's not the long very thorough variety, because of course she wanted to know a secret, but it's not like he's ever complained about the quick grinning while it happens variety, so.]

Course I do, what've you got?

[Peter kissed her back, although he was definitely hoping for more of a kiss. It was probably his own fault though for asking her about a secret. Shifting a bit he moved so that he could whisper in her ear.]

I think about you naked or getting you naked almost all the time.

[It probably wouldn't be long before she kissed him again, if that helped, but first she has to have a good laugh and she's certainly not going to try and stop him from whispering in her ear.]

Okay... so what's the secret?

Uhhhhh, that sometimes I'm not thinking about you naked or getting you naked?

[It was good to hear her laugh and he couldn't help but smile, pressing his face against her neck before kissing along it and behind her ear again.]

Sometimes I'm just doing something and wish you were there to share it with.

I mean I'm not sure that's a secret either. Sometimes you're sleeping. And don't say you think about me naked when you're sleeping, I know that too, but you aren't always. I can feel the difference.

[It's probably unnecessary, but she wiggled a little in his lap to illustrate her point and also because he's kissing her neck. A very brief wiggle, though, because it did pinch at her side.]

I'd have you around for everything I do, if it were possible.

[When she wiggled he had to stifle a groan by biting down where her neck met her shoulder. Probably not the best when they weren't supposed to be getting all crazy but it was almost habit at this point.]

I want to be around you all the time too.

[Probably not the best, no, but like hell was she going to discourage him. It's not like that particular move hurt anything, right, and she certainly didn't want to break him of that habit. But - she was definitely going to be whiny.] Two entire weeks.

[And she was lowballing it, she was. She had already spent 20 minutes annoying the shit out of the doctor to get that answer of two weeks as the bare minimum she could spend resting, because even that might drive her mad, never mind longer.]

I know. I don't know if I could tell you that if I didn't know you got it.

We can do it. We went like... over a decade without it before.

[Of course the longest length of going without sex probably shouldn't include the time before you had sex but that if he didn't include that then two weeks was a really long time to go.]

You think I should sneak back in here after they kick me out so we can fall asleep together?

I know we can do it, I just don't want to. It's going to suck.

[It wasn't just that she would miss it. It was - like for two weeks she wasn't going to be able to speak the language she felt like she was best at using to communicate with him.

And also Arya just felt a bit dramatic right then.]

You don't have to do any sneaking. We basically paid for this entire wing after Bran's accident. They won't say anything. They didn't when Bran was here either, Mom didn't leave his room for like a week.

Oh. Well I'll just let Aunt May know I'm staying the night with you and just stay here then.

[Because technically that wouldn't be lying, it would just be Aunt May assuming he meant at Arya's house.]

Good thing we don't take up much room on this bed.

Good. She won't mind?

[She doesn't usually ask that, certain that she would have already heard about it if the answer was yes, but it's a little different, right now.]

Is it? Why? Planning on inviting someone else in?

No she's used to me telling her that. So long as it doesn't happen too often she is okay with it.

[It's just when he's constantly spending the night there that Aunt May has to put her foot down.]

No I'm just saying if you were dating Thor this would be more of an issue.

I don't want to be too greedy with you. Just greedy enough.

[Which didn't mean that she'd be able to stop wanting him staying over every night, but - it was the thought that counted? Or something.]

[That made her laugh.] I think a few things would be more of an issue, if I were dating Thor.
