He succeeds in that, prompting a short burst of soft laughter. And she doesn't mind that hand in her hair either, and takes advantage of the way they ended up to nuzzle against his neck.
"Not yet, but I might. It's kinda homey." The words are light even if the meaning isn't. After everything that happened in the prison she has trouble thinking of it with anything but pain anymore, so it's been a while since she's had a physical structure to call home. Wandering doesn't do much for her, whether from place to place or person to person. The stability of this moment, mattress dips notwithstanding, means more to her than she can say.
No complaints here. It's hard not to enjoy having someone you're pretty damn fond of snuggled up against you. He leaves his hand where it is, fingertips tracing idly back and forth.

Stability isn't something any of them are used to, not anymore. But he wants her to stay, every way he can want that. To stay here and now, a while longer, to stay with him without pulling away. To stay in Teleios, not that either of them get much of a say in that. That last would be true if she was anyone, but she's not anyone, and while he wouldn't trade anyone's safety for hers (except maybe his own, but then, Daryl values his own safety less than anyone's,) he's desperately glad to have her.
