There was noticeable relief across Sabine when Peiter accepted and hugged her. From her angle, Sabine just brought her arms up to hug one of Peiter's arms and leaned into him. She breathed in to say something, but it didn't quite emerge. She just smiled widely and pressed the side of her head into Peiter's upper chest.

Sabine just sat silently for a few moments longer before she answered properly. "I...think I just want to cuddle tonight," she mumbled. Trying anything else was a bit much at once, but it was enough to know that Peiter was accepting of a slower pace.

When they laid themselves down to sleep, Sabine's grip was tight and affectionate around Peiter's body. "You are too nice, Peiter."
