~Theon~
Theon tilted his head slightly at the sound of her voice, there was a slight quavering quality to it and upon further discretion he noticed that her heart rate was slightly elevated.
"Are you alright?" he said with a slight frown. He was completely oblivious to the rather flirtatious mood in the room at the present moment, despite being an active participant.

Ase~
Her palms were sweating as well. Why now?! She hardly knew him! Yet he made her feel this way. Was this what love was? "Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine just a bit um...." She paused fiddling some with her clothes. "Um a bit tired is all."

~Theon~
Theon was about to point out that her symptoms were far from someone who was simply tired when it occurred to him what the problem might really be. He hesitated for a moment before moving in closer and hugging Ase. He wasn't quite ready to commit to anything more than this at the moment.

He could feel her heartbeat against his chest, feel the heat coming from her face. He allowed himself to linger for a moment to enjoy this feeling. It had been years since he had any sort of real contact with another person, let alone a woman. He was aware that his feelings were perhaps exasperated by his overall loneliness but, still it couldn't hurt to allow himself to feel for her.

Ase~
This took her aback. He-he hugged her? She was unsure what to do. The beat of her heart quickened, her face and ears grew warmer as she decided to hug him back. Goodness, just yesterday she had been alone planing on what she was going to do the next day, pick up more herbs or clean the tunnels some and now she was hugging a man whom she connected with. Nothing was set in stone though, and she felt as if she was pushing just a bit too hard at the moment. Maybe it was best to just live as he was another pacient. She had been hurt by this fire before, it was too soon to let it burn her again.

~Theon~
Theon pulled away somewhat reluctantly so that his face was about a foot away from hers, "Better?" he said with a slightly nervous smile. He desperately hoped that he hadn't made the wrong move.

Ase~
"Perfect."She replied in a little more than a whispered. It was all she could do to reframe for kissing him, though to prevent awkward interactions she reframed. "Thank you." The woman replied looking away from him as she did. It had been so long since she had felt love, compassion, trust towards another. It felt nice to be with another again.

Wisp~
She woke to her mother's scream desperate to help.

~Theon~
The two spent the next half hour or so in relative silence as they set up his bed and organized his belongings. He now had 32 arrows, not bad considering he couldn't make them himself he always had to steal his arrows from other people. His sword was in good condition and the gloves he had stolen off the hunter did indeed fit him rather well.
Pleased that all seemed well Theon turned to Ase intent to break the silence.

"Well now that that's taken care of, is there anything you need to do? It's not as if I'm buisy or anything." he said with a shrug.

Ase~
"Not really." She said her back towards him as she folded the clothes she had washed the day before. "I do need to fold these though, and sort them." She said referring to the clothes. It seemed kinda rude to go off and say 'well yeah I'd lIke to kiss you, maybe more if your willing' though that seemed to be the first thing that popped into her mind. When would she be brave enough to tell?

~Theon~
"Oh... well, I cant exactly help much with the sorting thing..." he said with an apologetic smile.
For some reason he felt ridiculously awkward right now, sitting on his cot and quietly listening to Ase go about her work while he carefully cleaned the blood from his sword. Maybe I should say somthing...
