[She's built a facade for herself over the years - a stone-cold bitch who hates everything and everyone, a monster, someone who keeps people at arm's length, because it's easier to not care than to allow herself to care and be hurt in the end when she's eventually betrayed. Allowing people to see who she was as a child, as a teen with hopes and dreams for the future, as a newly-Become Nightbane - it's like showing weaknesses that she doesn't want to admit to having. Her breath catches in her throat as she leans just a little more into him, the resistance in her muscles fading a little more with every passing second - it's been so long since anyone's held her like this, and she'd be lying to both of them if she were to pretend she didn't want it.]
