We're All a Little Mad // OxO // Closed

Hatta continued walking and whistling.

Aliana paused her humming to yawn, but went right back to it hoping to get a little further.

Hatta glanced at her. "Do we need to stop?" he asked.

"No," Aliana yawned again, "No, I'm good to go a little further."

Hatta nodded. "Alright."

Aliana looked over at Hatta, "What, what about you?"

Hatta blinked. "Hm?"

"Do you need to take a break?" Aliana asked quietly.

Hatta shook his head. "No, I'm fine."

"Okay," Aliana nodded along and started to hum again.

Hatta began to whistle along with her again.

Aliana paused ever so often to yawn, but it seemed her humming was steady. She was ready to just pass out once more.

Hatta smiled a little, and kept whistling.

Aliana gave him a tired grin and looked to see a crossroad up ahead, "Think we could stop up there?"

He smiled, and nodded. "Yes, if you want to." he replied.

"I would love to," Aliana responded finally letting the weariness set in.

Hatta nodded. "Alright. Then we will." He replied with a quick smile.

Aliana gave him a smile back and went to sit down in the slightly more roomy clearing.

Hatta started to unpack again, setting the tent and supplies back up.

Aliana looked to Hatta with a yawn, "Sorry about having to make you do all this work."

Hatta shrugged. "It's fine, don't worry about it." he replied.

"No," Aliana shook her head slightly, "I should be helping, but I'm," she yawned again, "Am just way too tire."

Hatta shrugged again. "Aliana. Really. Don't worry about it, I don't mind."

"Are, are you sure?" Aliana looked up at him with big eyes.

Hatta nodded, finishing with the tent. "Yeah."

"Okay," Aliana nodded and yawned again. Her mind had half shut off as she muttered, "Can, can we cuddle? I liked, um, being held last time. We, don't have to, but, but it would be nice."

Hatta smiled a little bit. "Yeah, sure." he replied. He opened his arms. "Come here."

Aliana had a tired smile and walked over to Hatta and leaned into him. She hugged him and let out a happy little sigh.

Hatta wrapped his arms around her gently, holding her.

Aliana felt her eyes flutter shut and the blackness take over. She had been so tired and Hatta was warm and comforting to her at least.
