The arms that wrapped around him now were more comforting now, as though she could with just that contact heal whatever hurts there may yet be that she didn't know about yet. She knew that it wouldn't be as simple as that, she'd seen too much and been too far, but a part of her still hoped for such things.
"So do I." She said, kissing him back a bit fiercely.

It would be enough. Christian knew it would be. Or, at least, he prayed that it would, prayed to whatever gods there were, whatever higher being would listen to the soft pleas of a man who had lived more lives than any ordinary human ought to.
"...why do you love me?" he whispered, after a few minutes of silence.

"Why? I would ask you the same thing, but, you asked first."
She heaved a sigh.
"You're like no one else I've known before. I could name so many things, but I think it's more than that...I don't think words would do very well, at least not this time."

"Everything that I've known...the sands of time are merciless...they just slip away from my grasp. I'm only a shell of the man that I used to be. I'm dead on the inside."

((For some reason, when he said "sands of time", all I could think of was Prince of Persia. <_<))
"What? I highly doubt your dead on the inside, with all the feeling you've shown to me. Someone that was dead wouldn't be able to express what you have."
His words had both upset and disturbed her, and she did not believe that it was true.

((Haaaaa! Have you seen the trailer for the movie?))
"Never mind that." He shook his head with a tight smile and traced the contours of Anastasia's jaw. "All I know is that...I'm alive now...isn't that right, Ani..."
He closed the gap between them.

((No, not yet! I'll go hunt around for it.))
"It is right." She said, throwing her arms around him.

It seemed that they stayed that way for a few minutes, a few hours, an eternity--Christian didn't know. And he didn't care.
He pulled the girl closer to him, wrapping his arms carefully around her.
((By the way, when does Sid come in?))

((Maybe when they're asleep? They're in a false sense of security right now...))
Feeling safe, here, with him, Anastasia was also starting to feel all of the exhaustion that came from the ordeal that had passed not all that long ago. Comfortable now and at rest, it was hard to keep her eyes open.

((All righty. Lol, they'll never catch a break with Sid around.))
Yes, sleep finally beckoned him into its warm, dark arms as well.
And beside the woman he loved, he gently shut his eyes and was whisked away.

...but not for long.
Someone's footsteps whispered against the plush carpet in the corridor outside of their room, pausing every so often, as if it were checking the numbers embossed upon the suite doors. It hesitated for too long outside of the slumbering couple's.
"I got you."
He cocked his rifle, retreated a few steps, and hurled his entire figure upon the door, which gave way easily, splintered upon its hinges.
"Sorry to disturb your beauty sleep, ladies."

(( ;D ))
Anastasia had been dreamlessly sleeping, peacefully floating along until the door slammed opened. When she saw who was standing in the room, gun in hand, she screamed.

As she started, Christian came to from his own dark slumber and rubbed his eyes groggily with the back of one hand.
"What is it--wha--"
His face fell at the sight of the figure in the doorway. Normally, Christian wasn't one for cursing, but he felt that this occasion warranted a bit of obscenity.
"Oh, damn you, son of a bitch."

"Oh-ho! The lady's got a dirty mouth!" Sid exclaimed, looking around at an imaginary audience as he sauntered past the threshold into the relative warmth of the room.
The illusion of security had all but shattered.
"Why don't I clean it for you? And why don't I just take the girl? No charge for both services--the best deal you'll find in these parts."

((His expression in his icon makes me giggle))
"No--just...leave him alone..."
As she spoke, she shifted, trying to subtley end up in front of Christian, blocking Sid from shooting him (hopefully, at least).
