Keep your eyes open until you get more comfortable, or else you'll slam into my nose.
[ It's rare to see Miorine bashful. Though the delicate pink tinging her skin is counteracted by the surly way she grumbles out her constructive criticism. Miorine stands with shakey feet, flinging off the one heel that'd managed to stay on during the fall.
She reaches down to grab Suletta's hands and help her stand. ]
It's not a big deal. That's what you do when you care about someone-
Mm! Okay! [It's a lesson she takes to heart, like most lessons she's given. She nods her head in enthusiastic acknowledgement, her expression so serious that it becomes, like most of Suletta's expressions, almost comical. Back on her feet, she stares down at their clasped hands. Her giddiness fades into something a little more subdued, a quieter kind of contentment. Miorine's face is flushed again, and though Suletta tries to catch her eye, she avoids her gaze. It occurs to her then that she's embarrassed, and the idea of Miorine being embarrassed over anything is so charming that she gently squeezes her hands in nonverbal comfort.]
Even so... it means a lot to me.
[She gently tugs on Miorine's hands to guide her back to bed.]
You should sleep now. You're tired, right?
[She's still draped in the duvet, and has to unwind herself from it to tuck Miorine in, the way her own mother used to do with her. This time, finally, the act comes without the self-consciousness her nudity in front of Miorine had caused her before. Her hair falls over her shoulders and down her back, and with the way she's angled, it's hard to see much of her face, other than her chin and the curve of her neck.
She puts on her pajamas with her back turned, and once again wriggles under the blankets beside Miorine.]

- you help them do the things they care about.
