"Okay. Okay.."
[i]Oliver would soon retrieve a blanket, wrapping Sarah up in it's warmth and then placing a pillow underneath her head. For a knight, he was surprisingly caring.[/i]
"I could turn up the temperature. That's really the only other idea that I have."
[i]Oliver did have two ideas: turning up the temperature in the room via air condition, or.. hugging Sarah for body heat. He had begun to shiver, yet kept calm yet.[/i]

She had curled up enough to give him some room umder the blanket. She was still shivering, "I don't mind sharing."
-
[i]Oliver would nod, shaking as he would scoot in next to Sarah, their body heat and the comforting position helping their freezing situation. Oliver nodded once more, smiling awkwardly at Sarah.[/i] "I've.. yet to do this. At all. Sorry, if this is.. weird."
-
"I don't mind..." She added. She secretly radiated lukewarm solar light that was confortable and added to the total thermal energy.
-
[i]Oliver shuffled up still, finally deciding on doing something: his right arm would begin to reach around, almost as if bringing Sarah a little closer. He seemed more comfortable, now.[/i]
-
She would scoot closer. "Thanks for the blanket, Oliver," Sarah told him.
-
"My pleasure," [i]Oliver would simply respond, blushing a little in his simple, yet approvingly neat manner. He would rest his head back, adjusting his being so that Sarah could come a little closer.[/i] "I.. I know, this is selfish. With everything that's been going on, but.. Well, I think it's obvious about how I feel about you."
-
"Yes, it's been too obvious," she agreed. She snuggled closer, her soft bronze locks of hair brushing against him.
-
"Not exactly the best at these sorts of things, I know." [i]Oliver still maintained a light grin, silvery hair meeting Sarah's curls. He nodded, smiling still.[/i] "But maybe we could.. you know, try something like this?"
-
"Not yet... but... I do entertain the idea."
-
"So you're telling me that there's a chance." [i]Oliver laughed a little.[/i] "I'll try, then, as long as you're alright with it. You seem to be, of course."

-
"I'm not forcing you into a relationship. You know that.. right? That I wouldn't do that?"
-
"I..." She fell silent.
-
[i]Oliver would keep his silence, it seemed, yet his gaze would soon return to Sarah. He was waiting on her to continue what she intended to say.[/i]
-
She just stayed silent. She still didn't know what to say.
-
"Sarah.." [i]Oliver sighed a little, yet he would still continue to keep his arm wrapped around Sarah's body, bringing her a little closer yet. He too seemed to not know what to say - granted, he seemed more concerned with whatever she wished to say.[/i]
-
She sighed, "I feel pressured, Oliver."
-
"Don't. It's alright." [i]He would respond, as he would look away and give Sarah some time.[/i]
-
She seemed very silent.
-
[i]Oliver would go silent, then, simply resting his head against Sarah's shoulder as he closed his eyes, sighing a little. It was as if he wanted to say something, yet didn't exactly feel confident about it. At all.[/i]
-
"You alright?" She asked, concerned.
-
"I'm alright, yeah.. Not that I'm against it, but are you staying over for the night? It's pretty late. I'll take the couch if you are staying by, the bed's all yours."
-
"Alright."
-
[i]Oliver smiled, nodding at that. He had an idea.[/i] "I'll go ahead and get off," [i]He would say, as he would let go of Sarah and sit upon the other side of the couch, nodding towards her.[/i] "Sweet dreams, Sarah." [i]Oh, he was plotting. Not in a bad way, but.. he did have some Christmas ideas.[/i]
-
She gave him the blanket, tucking him in. Then she would retire to his bedroom.
