"Mmm… no, no… we can go now. We should set out as soon as possible, right? And are you sure these horses are tame?" He asked meekly. "Since they live in the wild and all…"

"They're completely tame, I promise. And it wouldn't do us any good to travel at night, and we wouldn't be able to get far before setting camp up for the night." Matthew stood, letting out a breath.

"Okay, okay…" Rowan sighed and yawned again, running his fingers through his hair. "I guess we can rest here for the night… where do you want me to sleep?"

"I, well…" Matthew flushed a bit. "Here, you can take the bed," he offered. He'd figure out a way to sleep on the floor. Rowan was the first, after all.

(force them to share a bed?)

(absolutely)
"I-I couldn't possibly make you sleep on the floor, Matthew… it's your bed. Your house… and the bed is huge."

"Ah… Are you sure?" Matthew looked at the bed. It was big…
"Alright, if you insist."

Rowan flushed and looked down at the floor, hesitating before slipping off his shoes. "Y-Yeah… why not?"

Matthew blushed faintly.
"I… I'm going to go get changed." He grabbed a robe, heading out of the room.

"Mmkay." Rowan carefully pulled off the adjusted robe and got himself settled on the bed. He curled up into a tight ball and tried to relax enough to fall asleep.

Matthew came back in a moment, in one of his own robes. He laid down in the bed, on his stomach. It was easiest on his wings. He shuffled them around, using them like blankets.

Rowan eventually managed to fall asleep and started shifting around a bit after he did. At some point during the night, he ended up cuddled up with Matthew, smiling gently.

Matthew smiled gently in his sleep, his wing resting over Rowan gently when the other came closer. He was the first to awaken in the morning, glancing at the man next to him. He kept smiling, adjusting the wing that was over Rowan.

Rowan had his head tucked under Matthew's chin as he slept. He awoke a little while after Matthew did and jumped back when he realized what position he was in. "I-I'm so sorry!" He stammered nervously, his face flushing.

Matthew blushed slightly.
"It's alright, really!" Matthew sat up a bit, smiling gently. "It was… Nice."

Rowan flushed harder and buried his face in his hands. "I-I'm still sorry… but we really should get going now, right?"

Matthew sat up, nodding.
"Yes, I think that would be a good idea. Do you still have your robe?" He offered a gentle smile. His hair was a bit tangled, and he worked on it as he got out of bed.

"Yeah, I left it on the floor over here… folded, of course." Rowan grabbed it and held it out to Matthew. "Here."

Matthew accepted the robe with a smile, packing it away in the bag. He tied his hair back, picking up the bag.
"Ready?" He asked finally.

"Y-Yeah, um… I'm ready." Rowan moved a bit closer to Matthew as he walked, clearly nervous as they approached the door. He knew they'd have to fly down.

Matthew called out softly, and Fluff came running up. He opened the door, turning to Rowan and holding his arms out to Rowan.
"It'll be over soon, I promise."

Rowan whimpered quietly as he clung to Matthew. "Okay, okay… just… b-be as quick as possible, please…"

Matthew held Rowan close, rubbing his back a bit.
"I will, I will…" He held Rowan close, stepping to the door. Fluff followed, leaping out first. Matthew followed, holding Rowan close to him. He landed quickly, holding Rowan close.

Rowan had a death grip on Matthew's shirt by the time they landed, trembling lightly, but managing to not cry this time. "Is… is it over…?"

Matthew held Rowan close, not setting him down.
"It's over," he promised gently. "And you aren't going to have to fly again, okay?" Matthew held Rowan close, running his fingers through Rowan's hair.

Rowan nodded weakly and drew in a few quick, wavering breaths. He kept his grip on Matthew, clearly not wanting to be put back down yet.
