"Of course. I'd help you with anything."
His own hands- rough as they are- handled the pin with care
"Just be careful until we can get the sheath made- the blade's not for show."
He very carefully threaded it into her hair. Part of his brain- the stupid part- wanted to say something, but he managed to throttle it, and just focus on doing the task gently.
It wasn't the most conventionally intimate way he'd touched her, of course, but it meant more, all of a sudden.

Aimi sits very still as Raizo threads the pin into her hair... and then, with the decision made, exhales softly and leans back against him. She's content to stay like that, just enjoying the heat of his body against hers, the quiet strength of his company. It's nice, in a way that few things are.
"I... don't really know what we should do next," she says with a brief laugh, leaning back to rest her head against his chest. "I'm not very experienced at this sort of thing, or... not at being one of the people involved. I expect the Deer would get annoyed, were we to just discard the remaining days and their contests, but... should we eat together? Or..."
Her voice trails off.

He, likewise, seems pretty content with how they're sitting just then.
Ah. THIS is what happiness feels like. Good to know.
"Well."
He quietly slipped his arms around her.
"I, uhm... think they'd probably be a bit miffed if we blew off everything they had planned. We should probably keep turning up for whatever lunacy they have lined up- maybe today we'll be competing in a footrace with one leg hobbled or something- but... I'm also nowhere near disciplined enough to say that I don't want to maximize the time I get to spend with you."
Especially if they end up pairing us elsewhere.
Oh fuck you, why bring that up?
Because you have to be realistic.
Fine. But I'm not saying it out loud.
Why not?
Because I'm not doing that to her.
