"Mmmm-hmm." Paul's back to his quiet murmurs and soft voice, not wanting to break the spell. Seems like Loki's trying to do the same thing, and Paul curls his arm so Loki's just a little bit closer.
He likes this better than the nights in the dormitories. The mattress is about the same size, and they're older (and Loki's just as tall as he is) and scrunched in a little more, but there's no threat of anyone finding them and if he's being honest, Paul thinks he's different now in the sense that he realized what he's missed.
Maybe some good came out of showing his true self to Irene, if only for this. It's the best sleep he's had in a while, the most calm and centered he's felt in ages. He doesn't feel lonely with Loki around. He also doesn't want to get up, or to break the spell in any way. He decides not to, just for now.
"I could take you for Mexican this week," he says quietly. An open invitation. They'd mentioned it briefly, how they'd have to drive ages out of town, but Paul doesn't care. Driving is what he does.
