Bela arrives, moving a little more slowly than usual, but with her familiar smirk. It's been an interesting day. In the end it was a quite profitable one, even if she's paid for it in bruises.

Ghosts can be so pesky when you try to take their treasures.

Cal leans into the touch a little and gives her a smile.

He's not sure what to say back, aside from the obvious. He's not really good at this stuff. He'll sit inside a circle of dust with a frightened woman, or buy chocolate chip pancakes for a girl who's never tried them before, or try his best to explain religion to a boy who has just been introduced to the concept of holy wars, but ask him what friendship entails or to try to express it and he'll come up empty-handed.

"Any time."

That smile of his kills her, in the good way.

They can be emotionally stunted together! It will work well, except for when it doesn't.

She leans again, this time to whisper in his ear. "Take me upstairs, yeah?"

Cal grins.

"Any time," he repeats. He gives her a kiss and then stands, holding his hand out to her.

Bela takes his offered hand and sticks close by him as they walk upstairs.

Halfway up the stairs, she realizes exactly why she's so happy.

She feels safe.
