[ She seems to anticipate what he intends to do even before he completes the gesture, and when she slips between his legs, at first he remains still as if not knowing what to do. But then instinct and a desire that, for now, must remain unspoken, takes hold.
His shoulders dip and the blanket that she placed around him begins to slide off, and he catches it with one hand. It takes some maneuvering, and it is hardly a graceful attempt, but he tries to position the blanket around her shoulders instead. Although he is in a diminished state of awareness, he has felt how cold her hands are, and that part of him that still places the needs of others above his own has decided she needs the blanket more than he does.
Still, his effort to put it on her has placed it somewhat lopsidedly, a detail his clumsy efforts are doing little to alter. Finally, he is forced to give up the notion, as the effort has made his arms grow tired and he can no longer hold them up. Instead, they fall to rest against her lower back as he cannot manage to entirely wrap them around her.
Although he does not answer her question with words, he has done his best to convey that this is what he wants, and that he wishes to be sure that she is comfortable as well. ]
