[The offer surprises her - if only because, while she knows well enough by now that Shinpachi really would do everything in his power to make her feel more comfortable about basically anything, she also remembers how embarrassed he'd gotten that time he had brought her a brazier and then fallen asleep... but then she smiles a little, because that just goes to show how far they've come. He trusts her to be in a position where she might witness that again.
...and he trusts her to be around when, as a rasetsu, he'll probably be wide awake. She knows he's going to try and keep as normal a schedule as possible, but Heisuke and Sannan had always been much more awake when the moon was up; she can't help but wonder if it's the same for him, too. Both his face in slumber and his face lit up by moonlight are things that he actually trusts her to see.]
Actually... um, Nagakura-san.
[She starts to say something, and then hesitates. What she wants to ask is incredibly forward. Should she keep quiet? ...or should she ask it anyway?
She asks it anyway, looking up at him earnestly.]
Even if he does find me my own room... could I stay with you anyway? The others could have more space, or maybe we could save some money by not needing that extra room at all, and I'd like to spend time with you... [Her cheeks flush a little just by speaking the words.] That is, if you don't mind...!
