[And not only is it comforting, it's the same kind of steady rhythm that lulls her into a peaceful... not-quite-doze. She closes her eyes either way, and she knows what the little gentle pressure at the back of her head means, which begets just a little, sleepy giggle.] ... There, now I really feel spoiled.

[Rei doesn't say anything. Just...continues, letting Ouse relax and continue her drowsy little way towards real sleep. Why spoil the moment with pointless words, when she can have this effect on her partner. Someone she's growing to love, very much.]

[Surely, it won't completely chase off the nightmares, no matter how content she is. And as close as Rei will likely be to her when she does doze off, the jerking awake in the middle of the night will probably continue to wake Rei up, as well.

... But even though she can feel the dark tendrils creeping in the sides of her eyes, closed as they are, she ignores it. Someone is touching her that won't add to the problem. Someone whose touch is genuinely affectionate and caring. That's enough for her. Who would've thought, a poor, tormented spirit such as herself would find someone to so stubbornly want to take care of her. Sleepily, she just mumbles something that feels appropriate for the situation. It's not just because of the brushing her hair, it's a lot more general than that.] ... Thank you.
