Sharlee reached forward and gently placed her hand on his shoulder. Being with him made her feel at ease. It was a strange feeling. While she should still be shivering and afraid, perhaps worried about broken branches and shadows the presence of the man that saved her had her feel... Safe. Safe and guarded. Like something precious and protected.
"Thank you." A small smile and she let her hand slip away, tugging the sleeves down to hide the red angry marks on her wrists, they would take a few days to heal, she knew. "I know you'll keep me safe," A clap of her hands and she smiled, eyeing his jerky before she nodded to him, "You should eat, you know." A small smirk at the book and then back to his face, "I know you're enjoying the book and how confused it's making you, but you're barely halfway through! There's lots of adventure left to go."
And part of her was far too entertained by his confusion about sex.
While she'd been embarrassed by the questions, they were at least entertaining and she'd hoped he'd ask her more questions. Probably ask what a few of the more raunchy words were. That she wasn't so keen on but as long as he didn't ask around anyone it would be fine, right?
