A pause.

"Shoes and boots."

"But I've seen them," he protests, with a quiet chuckle. "They are beautiful. Maybe a little bruised, but everyone has that, now and then."

"Not hubris at all, simply a fact," he says. "And I am very fond of your shins--and the rest of you, of course, though I will refrain from naming a favorite part so that you won't get self-conscious. But I think I did see a faint bruise last night--of course, the lights were dim..."

"I probably just kicked you by accident in my sleep," he says lightly. "It could happen."

He chuckles, and shakes his head.

"If I ever do, you're free to kick me back," he says. "I probably deserve it, anyway."

"Women love dangerous men," he says, attempting to look serious, and only partly succeeding. "I can't help it. I doubt you'd want me any other way."

"So you'll just have to put up with the occasional accidental sleep-kicking, and do the occasional accidental somewhat harder sleep-kicking in return. Or whatever else you feel is appropriate."

"Your calming influence, I'm sure," he says with a smile. "Or possibly from drinking. Or a long day in the car."

"You're not dull, not at all. Well... I have to admit, you're not exactly exciting to watch when you're sleeping. But it's peaceful, not dull."

Another pause.

"I'm not making my case very well for not being creepy, here."

"Do you want me to set you down?" he asks with a smile. "Because I will, if you like. We're almost there, anyway."

He returns her gently to her feet.

"They'd probably look at us strangely if I carried you around in the gift shop, anyway," he says. "We'll each need both hands free for shopping."
