Revisiting Average Humans [[Tyler and Faith]]

Tyler began to feel Faith shift and get herself comfortable within her place in his arms. He zoned out of the world for a brisk moment, taking in her scent, her warmth, and her essence. The fact that the physical being was before him satisfied him, but what made it better was that she was a living a breathing organism with a mind and heart of her own. Tyler would never let it past him on how he managed to defy death and bring the life of an innocent girl back to him, but at the same time he was challenged to think about his position on the matter. He ducked his head onto hers, and just let her make her place within his grasp.

It was true what she said though. she was still there. But that doesn't help the fact that he might do it again. Not intentionally, but on accident, and that was the last thing he ever wanted to do. Perhaps instead of punishing himself, he will just let Faith rest there, and he'll just try to keep himself in check a lot more. When he begins to feel excited, instead he'll just calm down and try to be more analytical instead of pressuring Faith into situations that would make her uncomfortable. He needs to keep himself in place as to ensure she develops properly and her mind isn't over burdened with what life throws at her. He needs to be her shield.

Tyler felt Faith become comfortable and mention rest. She went silent, and her breathing steady. She was calm now, and everything was fine. She can rest, but Tyler didn't want to really share the same bed really. He wanted to have some time to himself to think and take note of the situation, but the fact she was holding onto him made it difficult. Who knows, maybe she was right instead of him in this situation. Instead of getting all upset over it and wanting to brood over things, maybe instead it would be best for the two to just rest together.

The fire outside their room crackled and popped as Tyler gave in and settled himself with Faith and allowed himself to drift into sleep. The sounds of the fire, the wind outside, and the warmth of Faith's body put his mind into a trance, allowing him to be delivered to rest much faster than normal. The two together were bundled tightly, nearly inseparable from one another.
