Charon felt Rael place her hands but didn't stir. He was reliving the entire time from meeting her to sitting on a stair landing hugging. Somehow, "Come Sail Away" got into his head as he watched the memories, and he couldn't help smiling, as it seemed to fit. After a few seconds of having it stuck in his head he started mouthing the words, and was soon singing as softly as he could.

Rael could feel Charon's jaw movements, and could soon hear his voice singing. Nice choice, she thought, Styx, and it's a good song. Without wanting to interrupt him, she slowly shifted her body, so her back was against him, and hoped he would continue.

Charon felt Rael shifting around, and made sure she had room to do it, but didn't stop singing. He didn't realize it, but he was singing the accompaniment as well as the lyrics. Of course, it would have been rather hard for him to realize that since he didn't even realize he was singing.

Rael enjoyed the fact immensly that Charon continued his song. She liked being able to hear his voice, and to have his arms around her. Absentmindedly, she lifted one of her hands and lightly dragged her fingers along his arm. With the soothing singing and comfortable position she was in, she allowed herself to fall deeply into her thoughts.

Rael's hand running along Charon's arm slightly tickled, but really didn't bother him. He had come to the end of the song, so it was silent once again. He was enjoying Rael leaning against him and wished they could stay like this forever. Unfortunately, he knew they'd eventually have to get up and find their way to their respective houses. But not yet.

"So," Rael began after a few moments of silence. "What are you thinking?" She didn't want to stop the silent bliss she felt, but wanted to hear his voice again. She had noticed he had stopped his song, but she figured she must have noticed a while after he had finished as the silence was there. Rael allowed her free hand to reach up and touch Charon's hands.

Without opening his eyes, or moving a muscle beyond that needed for talking, Charon answered. "I was thinking about a couple of things. One was everything from the time we meet up until now. Another was the fact that at some point we will, unfortunately, have to get up and go to our houses. And the final thing was that that moment is not now, so we might as well just stay here and enjoy it for a bit longer." He moved his hands just enough to take hold of the Rael's hand, which had been touching his.

After listening to what he had to say, she felt more at ease. She felt him move and take hold of her hand. She smiled to herself, and allowed her head to tilt forward just enough to allow her lips to touch his arm. She slowly delved back into thoughts.

Charon felt her touch her lips to his arm, and felt himself grow happier when he had thought it not possible. "How about you?" he asked softly. He wanted to hear her, but also didn't want to destroy the wonderful peacefulness around them. "What are you thinking about?"

She allowed a smile to spread on her lips, and inhaled slowly and deeply. She thought for a moment and began to speak without barely lifting her lips from where they were. "I've been thinking about everything that's happened today, about classes starting soon," she paused. "And about how comfortable I am at this moment." She allowed herself to deeply inhale again, and take in his scent. She hoped he felt as cozy as she did.

Charon smiled as he said, "You're quite comfortable, are you? Well, I'm glad to know I'm of use to someone, even if it's just as a cushion." He lightly kissed the top of her head, then added, "Unfortunately, I don't think we can just sit and be comfortable anymore. If we don't want to be wandering around the castle in the dark we'd better resume trying to find our way."

She nodded her head in response to what he had asked her. When she felt his lips make contact with the top of her head, she felt a slight dizziness take over her, even if it was just her hair he made contact with. "Yeah," she said. "It'd probably be best if we got a move on." She pulled her hand from his hands, stretched out her legs, then stood up. She turned around to face Charon while she waited for him to do the same.

Charon had let go of her so she could stand, and then stood himself, stretching and cracking his back. He took her hand once again, looked at her, and said, "Well, here we go again. How many times have we restarted now?"

"More times than needed to be," she smiled at him. "But I rather liked the breaks." She turned and began walking down the stairs, hand still attached to Charon's. She didn't want to walk in silence, she thought it might be a little weird after the hug, but didn't want to start a conversation herself.

Charon chuckled. "Yeah, I liked the breaks too. How could I not?" he said. He stayed alongside Rael and tried to think of something to say.
"Do you often go wandering around the castle?" he asked.
