[Contact like that, from him, startles her enough to make her withdraw her hand before she realizes what she's doing. Uncertainty in her eyes betrays her. She reaches over for the remote, careful not to brush his hand in the process, and she straightens up to scoot back from him. Without meeting his gaze, she clears her throat in an almost awkward manner.]

Um, I'm going to sit you up a bit, so don't be surprised. [Another brief pause occurs before she presses a button, and the bed beneath his shoulders and torso begins to rise, stopping once it's at a forty-five degree angle. Moments pass again, then she slowly retreats from the bed entirely, still not looking directly at him. She takes a step back, setting the remote back on the night stand.]

I'm sorry. [Kaname crouches to pick up the green blanket and pink rabbit pillow from the floor, gripping them tightly in her hands.] Messer-kun, I'm not sure what to say now.

[Her voice trails off, though she stands, grasping the items like a lifeline, until she finally looks at him. The uncertainty--maybe even doubt-- from before is still there, but more obvious. She swallows, lump in her throat not seeming to move.

Seconds seem like hours until she finally takes a step forward, shoving her previously shed boots aside. Softly, she reclaims her spot on the edge of the bed, hands, as well as blanket and pillow, retreating to her lap. Kaname averts her gaze, growing more and more unsure with each passing second. It's almost a miracle she manages to speak what words she does.]

I... Can I-- [She looks back up at the bed, him there, eyes moving over the entire thing in question. Unformed words swirl in her head, fighting to come out, order not important. However, the ones that make it, are the safer of the options.]

Sorry, forget it. I'm being silly.

[A weak smile is what she can manage as she pulls into herself, almost ashamed she was even trying to ask.]
