   Summary

   "You want to be as cold as the steel in this knife. Because if you do that, then nobody can see or guess what's truly inside."

   How fitting it felt, given their dangerous games and barbed exchanges, that all Marisa could think about was how easily that knife could become bloodstained.

   "I would prefer that my willingness to guard myself be compared to something less lethal."

   -----

   Inspired by a prompt on tumblr: Asriel has a nightmare, and Marisa has a funny way of comforting him.
