[ This is... different than snuggling on the couch, Nao's realizing. Not bad-different, but different, different in a way she hadn't considered when she set out from her room for his, that she probably should have considered. Had she, she might have thought to put on something other than a t-shirt dress designed more for spring and summer, which is to say that it's a comfortable fabric that could stand to be a little thicker. It's not like she didn't know he had a robe centered around sleeping activities either! He wore it in the morning sometimes, but she hadn't considered he might sleep with it open or... without pants even though he'd said he was going to put some on and investigate earlier, hadn't he?
He had and that is indeed his bare chest her hand has settled against, his open robe pinned beneath her. Hard as a rock and pleasantly warm, she can feel his heart beating steadily beneath her palm, feel the warmth and flow of that deep, deep violet, the man, the soul she's snuggled against. Her cheeks are tinged red, but not for fear. The clothing situation is... awkward, but there's no question in her mind that she's safe. The realization that she feels safe, though, that stirs something in her head and heart. Before this moment, it's only happened once in the last nine years.
Nao is quiet for a moment, then reaches with a hand to tug his arm a little more securely around her. His little sound and that closeness, that's not awkward in the slightest and her voice is softer when she speaks. ]
How 'bout I just hide in here with you for a little while?
