There was a sudden lurch in his gut as the train started forward. Not trusting himself to look out the window or otherwise acknowledge the change, he kept his eyes closed and his arms wrapped around Arya, focusing on the rise and fall of her breathing, on the faint beat of her heart he could feel.
A smile was put on her face at his words, and she nuzzled her nose against his chest before resting her head against it. It took her a moment to realize that they'd finally started moving, and when she did, she chanced a glance up at Sabel to see how he was fairing. Only returning her head to his chest when she was somewhat satisfied with his demeanor.
