Though they had not exactly inundated their recent time together with conversation, and were generally silent? Now Reinette fell completely so as she considered Jack's instruction.
Anything she might need, he said.
She was a woman accustomed to needed a great many things. Not want. Need. She needed to prove to herself the man from the fireplace was real. She needed to know that she was better than the people of court that would judge her as lacking. And she needed Louis. For a great many reasons. Some complicated, others something more than that.
But it occurred to her then, standing there in nothing but her nightgown that she could think of absolutely nothing in that particular moment that she needed.
Other than to go with him.
Self aware as always, she immediately checked herself. Was she losing herself, somehow. So consumed in his own self and hurts and was disregarding herself? But no, it was what she wanted. And needed.
To go with him.
Still silent Reinette went to gather Jack's coat into her arms, the heaving fabric draping where she held it as she returned to his side.
