[America squints at England in the dark. He knows what he wants that to mean, but he doesn't want England to get really upset if he misinterpreted something. On the other hand, it's an excuse to sort of get comfort from England. He decides, in the end, that if he doesn't say anything about what's happening, it should be fine. America shifts enough that he's curled toward England. He doesn't cling, since he doesn't want to be that embarrassing, but he's significantly more closely pressed against England all the same.]
