Satsuko, being reptilian, was also quite sensitive to temperatures, and she found it more comfortable to sleep in a warm place. The space heater was invaluable to her because it measured the temperature and kept it constant. If it got too hot, it wasn't good for her either. Because of that, she didn't use a blanket. Also, she wasn't sleeping at the moment, just not paying complete attention as she read from a book. She did, however, eventually notice when the room temperature started dropping. She peeked from behind her book and saw Rune's hand in front of the heater. She glanced outside, the shadows from the surrounding cliffs getting steadily deeper. It always seemed later than it actually was between the rock faces. The sun was probably just beginning to set. "Okay, Rune," she said, sitting up a little straighter in bed, "that's enough of that. You can stand to share some of the heat."
Adrik, in the mean time, knocked on the front door. With the sun gone down, he couldn't dry any more than he already had. He wanted to say goodnight to the two ladies and maybe get an eyeful of a little somethin somethin.
Satsuko's gaze shot to the door outside the shared bedroom and mentally cursed. Just when she'd gotten comfortable. She adjusted her sparse clothing, especially the loose shorts. She didn't usually wear anything to bed, but wasn't about to pull that kind of thing with Adrik in the neighborhood. The shorts were altered to let her tail slip through the bottom between her legs, so they were more like a skirt. She got out of bed and opened the door, letting in some of the cool air she'd been trying to keep out. She stood there, barely clothed, with a stiff look on her face, her long hair atypically down and framing her shoulders. "Yes?"
The bear got more than he was expecting, his eyes very obviously roaming all the way over his friend's body. "Oh, ah, nosink. I vas zhust vantink to say good night, is all." He smiled very widely.
