No. It was not something he gravitated to, but it was interesting to see that Richard used it as the main source of heating for this place. If they were see each other again in the cabin, he expected he was going to learn a lot about building fires like this.

Many people had sex and walked away from each other; sleeping next to someone was very intimate in his mind as it showed an ultimate vulnerability. Sleep was when everything could go wrong. Besides, sleeping in an actual bed was not something he did often, preferring to sleep sitting up in a chair to come awake faster and primed to defend himself.
