[ She is quite certain she did. She did not have any furniture for Hayame to lean against, but the Jinba would find that the earth rose behind her into something of a back, and more pillows found and handed to her. Enough that she could lean against them, and rest her head, perhaps even sleep.
Akua herself sat next to her, and placed her hand against her rump, and started to brush the burrs from her coat, and ran her fingers through her tangled tail. ]
You may stay here as long as you like. Perhaps I will find food, before you wake.
[... Yes, she does still need it. Unfortunately. The purse of lips and little shift in her expression provides the begrudging answer for that without making her admit it out loud that she's been neglecting it. And more importantly, why.
If she'd thought Akua's camp was comfortable before... Where were all these pillows come from? Actually, she does not even question it, really, because it is Akua, but. ... It is. Nice.]
I will not sleep... we have work to do.
[That is what she tells herself as she crosses her arms beneath her bound breasts, settling into the pillows with a little exhale through her nose instead of a more free person's content sigh. ... She won't say anything about the other woman's touch on her, because what if she stops if she draws attention to it? Better to just not say anything... because it felt good to have the burrs tugged gently from her dun coat and untangled from her ebony black tail, all of her showing wear since they'd become trapped at this size, too busy with battle and searches to bathe luxuriously.]
... I will rest my eyes, though.
[- She still says "eyes", even though only one (and eyelids over an empty hole) closes.
... But. Perhaps, if Akua's hand is soft, and her touch is soothing... then she cannot be blamed for nodding off for just a little while.]
