I feel a little bad... I'll just ask her to box it up and we'll pick it up later. [That is, not have them come back later in the night because who knows what might be happening— Okay maybe nothing, but it's not a bad idea regardless.
So that's what he'll do, and as the woman enters the room and starts gathering the food (giving both of them little glances and a smile hovering over her lips—they must have been quite "busy" if they hadn't eaten!), she explains about the blizzard coming in. It seems like it might be a strong one, so there may be a brief power outage. But no fear! The inn has been through such weather before so they are more than prepared. Through the use of fire spirit artes, the floors should remain heated until the backup generators kick in. There is also the fireplace and there should be plenty of wood stockpiled in the storage bin nearby. But just in case, she's leaving them several extra blankets. She's also leaving some of the fruits and cold foods in the room in case they get hungry later and the staff is unavailable. She packs them up and leaves them in the food storage unit, along with some water and hot tea. And as a final reminder, their futons have already been laid out for them in the adjoining room (which also shares the fireplace).
As she gathers everything and readies to leave, she bids them a good night. Breakfast will be served in the morning, and if they ever need anything to just give them a call at the front desk.
It was all pretty standard fare, but right before Alvin closes the door behind the woman, she turns and coyly whispers to him that the rooms are "well stocked" for other amenities for the night. It takes him a moment to puzzle out what she means, but when he sees that knowing smile, it hits him. He's actually a bit stunned by it and could only stare after her before finally gathering his wits again to close the door.
Great, if he hadn't been thinking about certain nightly "activities" before, he sure is now. Coupled with the fact that they are now mutually indulging each other with those held back feelings and that they're going to be sleeping together...
...No, slow down, Alvin, definitely no, can't, that's a line you shouldn't cross just yet. Fooling around, yeah, sure, that's fine, but anything past that—
Damn his natural inclinations. He manages to mask his thoughts well enough, though, as he makes his way back to Leia.]
It's still early in the night, and I'm not particularly tired. Anything you want to do?
[It's too bad they haven't installed TVs yet here... Because it's also sinking in that if he doesn't have a distraction, he might not be able to hold himself back.]
