[The soft but steady glow of stars welcomes them and she closes the door to give them some privacy before motioning for him to follow her to one of the large cushioned viewing areas.
It's big enough that you can lay back and look up-- which is exactly what she does after setting her tea on the small table next to it.
She doesn't say anything-- she just rolls onto her side and holds her arm out for him to crawl in and lie with her.]
[Serenity wouldn't say she's incredibly perceptive, but the truth is that she is-- particularly with those she's close to. It feels natural that she should want to be aware of her loved ones feelings, so she wouldn't say it's anything special. It's what they deserve.
When he climbs in, she scoops her arm around him and pulls him in against her side; snuggling him tightly and nuzzling her cheek against the top of his head before pressing a gentle kiss to his hairline.]
[ If Lark wasn't already blushing, he's definitely blushing now. It feels so...childish, to be comforted by something like this. After all, he's old enough that he shouldn't need this just because he couldn't go to bed.
Even so, he still tucks himself a little closer to her, hugging her back. ]

--Lark!
[She opens the door wide-- come on in!]
no subject
[ He says, while stepping in anyway. ]

[She's making tea for them now, because it sounds like he could perhaps use it.]
no subject
[ He'll go take a seat. ]
no subject
Much better than I was before. I'm sorry if I worried you. I wasn't-- the best company anyway. [...] But! That's all in the past, so--!
[Tea!]
no subject
[...Fine, he'll still reach for the tea. ]
no subject
Come on. Let's take it to the observatory.
no subject
[ He'll follow after her! '^' ]

On the other hand, it's perhaps more embarrassing that he's that easy to read. Or maybe Serenity just has the added advantage of good intuition?
He hesitates for a moment and puts his tea on the table too, before he crawls in to lie down next to her. ]

Oooooh I just love you sooo much~
[But she loosens her hold a few moments later, snuggling comfortably next to him; continuing to hold him.]

[She adds extra kisses all over his face, in response to his protesting.]
no subject
[ Serenity please, this is so embarrassing?! ]
no subject
Sorry, sorry-- but it's true you know? And I want you to be able to lean on me when you need me.
no subject
[ Because it certainly feels childish to say that he feels lonely.
...And maybe just a little too needy to say that he misses having Crane and Lancelot around. ]
no subject
Yep. Even then.
no subject
[ He leans in to give her a quick kiss on the forehead. ]
I love you a lot too.
no subject
Why don't you sleep with me tonight?
no subject
[ He cuddles her back. ]
... I miss doing this.
no subject
We don't have to do anything special. It could be just to talk or read or watch the stars...
no subject
...Is there anything you want to talk about?
no subject
[Sorry lil bro, but she's not letting herself get distracted.]
...are you sure there isn't anything you want to talk about?
