He shifted her slightly until Cela was tucked against his chest and his arm curled protectively around her shoulders, his hand resting at her temple. "She held me like this when she read to me."
"I don't know if they do, but you are usually right." Celandine told him seriously. "What are your favourite foods?" Cela asked, giving Copernicus a nuzzle when he shifted her against his chest, "What did she read to you?"
Cel was genuinely curious. She tightened her arms around him. He felt... less sad?
