Koschei smiled again as more tears filled his amber eyes when Rhioa touched his cheek and spoke the sweet words to him. When she removed her hand he kissed the top of her head and reached down for her hand. “Yeah, me too, my sweet little Time Tot, let’s get in there and sit on the comfortable settee and just relax for the rest of the evening.”
He laughed and pulled her gently into the Video Room and then moved them toward the settee in the middle. He helped her to sit down and then grabbed the pink and purple blanket form the back of the settee, covering her before he moved to sit beside her. he reached over and found himself a red blanket and then quickly switched on the telly. He didn’t really channel surf, just kept on some murder mystery, and he wasn’t even sure what it was. He didn’t really care about that, he just wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to him.
“There we are now, Rhi, nice and cozy beneath our blankets, and you can have the remote if you want, doll,” Koschei said, as he placed it on top of her lap on the blanket and settled in more comfortably beside her. He had left his boots in the Gallifreyan Garden, but he didn’t need them now and would retrieve them later or tomorrow. For now, he just enjoyed the relaxing time with his step-daughter, watching telly and being together.
Rhioa shook her head a bit, laying her head on his shoulder. “This is fine.” She said softly, watching the mystery. She tried to keep herself awake for as long as possible, not wanting to fall back asleep on him. She seemed to be doing that a lot lately. But she had been busy and easily worn out from having to take care of her children, being pregnant, and saving the universe.
Near the end of the mystery, she start to let herself give in. She did hope that she’d be able to see who did it, but she felt her eyes close as she fell asleep peacefully.
