Morgan chuckled, raising an eyebrow as she shifted her shoulders so he could sit a little more comfortably. "You realize that Vim and I were in a tub for over an hour together, warming up from that incident while Silvie and Greeneye tended to us, right?" she inquired. "I think we're even." She started to turn around, then stopped as she realized how dangerously close Finn's head was to the ceiling, and how the larger beams crisscrossing the room would present a problem. "Uh, Finnie? You sure about sitting up there? This might get hairy, and I don't wanna bonk your head."
 
Finn frowned, and recoiled from the top of Morgan's shoulders. "WHAT!? Eww, gross! Ok, you win! That's way worse..." he hissed, slouching lower on Morgan's back, until he slid off.

Funny as it may be though, Finn ended up tucking this little tidbit of information away. Get real cold? Take a hot bath. Might be useful information later...

In the mean time, his conscience was now clear about any wrongs, and there was no bad blood lingering between him and the rest of the crew. He even seemed proud of Morgan -- by her own admission, that was a difficult thing to do. Though, Finn knew better than to make a big deal of it. They were happy and at ease, and that was enough.

The fox kit had run into a wall suddenly. Exhaustion had finally caught up with him, and he let out an almighty yawn, causing him to stumble a little on his way back to bed. Finn crawled up on his bunk, and burrowed his way under the covers again.

And yet, Finn was silent. His mind seemed pensive. Content for sure, but he was in his own little world at the moment, marveling at how differently things could have been in a parallel universe if just one thing could have gone differently in the ships hold. The kit looked up at Morgan through half lidded eyes, fighting off sleep to stay up just a few moments longer while she made final arrangements before bed.
 
Morgan chuckled as Finn clambered down. He was still at that adorable age where he thought vixens were gross and had cooties; Morgan had once thought the same of jacks. She'd started taking an interest in jacks pretty late, actually; she hadn't really started going with them until at least sixteen. If she were lucky, maybe Finn would be the same. She liked having an adorable little brother, and while she knew the transformation to a stinky teenager was inevitable, she wanted to have time with him before that happened.

Morgan escorted Finn back to bed and, after he climbed in, knelt down to carefully tuck him in. She pulled the blankets up, making sure he was covered to his neck with enough to spare that he could cover his head if he got really cold. "Thank you, Finn," she murmured, considering leaning in to kiss is forehead like her Mum used to do when Morgan was little, but no, that was a bit too motherly rather than sisterly. "Thanks for believing in me, and holding me to being a better beast. You're a really good kit, you know that?" She smiled before advising, "Sleep tight. I'll be right in my hammock if you need me, okay?" She nodded at the hammock a mere ten feet away, easily within eyesight.
 
Uhh, duh... Girls WERE gross. Eww.

Finn wriggled down further as Morgan tucked him in, and let out a soft huff. The dull creaks of the ship, the gentle rocking, and the soft lantern light would have nearly put him out. Finn was barely aware of what she was saying -- all he caught was the word "thanks". Too exhausted to sit up at this point, he curled around like an inch worm, and wrapped his arms around Morgan.

"G'mite Mormgn..." he mumbled into her side, before rolling back into bed, and tugging the blankets up over his shoulder.
 
Morgan paused as he wrapped his arms around her, considering whether or not to disengage his grip, before she shifted instead to lay down next to him, curling her form around him to shelter him from any cold. "Goodnight Finn," she murmured, closing her eyes. She'd probably wake up in the night and go to her hammock then, but for now, she could sleep.
