[But there's laughter in her voice, nothing to say she isn't going to take Hypnos completely at his word. Besides, he's hardly a god here, is he, and he hasn't given her any reason yet to think he has any difficulty with his temper. As if to reassure him that she's only joking with him, she gives his hand the lightest tug and sets her weight against his arm for a moment, resting her head there briefly.
Jane looks up again, and there's the tiniest frown creasing just between her eyebrows.]
Mm... and you don't like that.
[It's not a question. She may generally prefer animals over people, but that doesn't mean she's completely socially inept.]
It sounds like it might be a little lonely. [For a moment, she studies him quietly, then she smiles.] You don't need to worry about that with me.
