Ellie curls against him, kissing the top of his head with a happy grin on her face. She knew she was always safe with him. The amount of time he spent keeping her safe when they were children, so she believed him when he said she was always safe with him.
He didn't need to tack on the 'promise' but it made her happy just the same. Wrapping her arms around him and just holding him, she closed her eyes, set to doze off again.
But she still had too many questions about them so, a bit hesitantly (which shows Ellie's need to understand something), she finally asks.
"Mike? What are we? To each other, I mean." This is something more than friends, she just doesn't understand it.
