He'd hate to admit it, but here in a world where he sleeps and breathes, Archer has had some dreams of his own--and since renewing his contract with Rin, some of them have been of her past. It's something he shouldn't think on, he knows. But he can't help it. The images of her passing each day in the lonely chill of that big house stay stuck in his head, and they leave him aching for the chance to make a home for her that isn't so lonely--

It's fortunate that her puzzled awakening snaps him out of those thoughts. It's unfortunate that he's still not entirely thinking straight, because he answers the implied question casually without hesitation. "Your clothes are on the radiator; they need to dry so you don't catch cold."
