Tucks away securely
Ensconces means settles comfortably and securely into a place or position.
The word suggests establishing oneself in a cozy or protected spot: She ensconces herself in the corner armchair with a book.
It can also imply being firmly installed somewhere, sometimes with a hint of immovability: Once ensconced in his office, he rarely emerged.
