Karlach is absolutely adorable when she's cuddly. You've never seen her like this until now, but then again, she couldn't exactly touch you until now; of course, she's taking full advantage of that little tweak to her heart.

It's been hours since you both went to bed, but she's been talking your ear off the entire time. Her tail is thumping happily against the grass where you lay, and her big, strong arms are wrapped around you as tight as can be – without hurting you, of course. You feel the warm thrum of her mechanical heart against your bare back, as well as her lips on your shoulder. There's no sounds other than the crackling campfire, her wagging tail, and your gentle breathing.

Karlach snuggles a bit closer, if that's even possible.

"I love you, soldier," she murmurs, and the smile in her voice is almost palpable. "You know that?"
