Sleep reached in and whisked off the former-Slytherin, pleasure sating her into a light nap that she awoke from not long after Nilla got up and wandered out of the room. Ren cocked an eye open and sighed contentedly, absent-mindedly tugging the sheets a little more around her body. In the half light, the canvas that her body had long since become was clear as day. She turned over, the sheets rolling with her, and she sighed happily. It was a more comforting feeling to be in someone else’s bed, now, than her own – which certainly said something about the state of her own home.
She could hear movement in the other room and Ren knew that she couldn’t hide in bed for the rest of the evening. She needed to gauge whether she was welcome or not. There was a late Quidditch match if it was the latter and despite knowing better, Ren found herself wishing that she was welcome – even if she had every reason not to be. So, she got out of bed. It was better to be safe than sorry. She grabbed her t-shirt, donned it, and went in search of her pants which she also chucked on before padding out in search of Nilla.
“Is there a sandwich in it for me somewhere?” Ren quipped, leaning against the door frame, content enough to watch Nilla hop about the kitchen. She didn’t know really what to say after that. A foolish part of her wanted to say ‘thanks’ but it was just that: foolish. You didn’t thank someone for that, did you really? Ren had only ever done so ironically. This wasn’t ironic. This was … no. This was just a one-night-stand with a sandwich attached. It had that little plus point but it was just another notch – nothing more. Wasn’t it?
