But - Jae-ha seems to relax at that, then going to walk over back to the doorway. When he sits down it's... less elegant than he'd like, more of a slump than a proper sitting motion.
It feels like he really does have the weight of the entire world upon him.]
[It's not comfortable, sleeping like this. He has so much on his mind too--but Sousei is a soldier, and he's used to turning off when need be, so that he can snap back into duty when necessary.
And so, after a few brief moments of focusing on settling himself, Sousei will slip into a very quiet sleep.
. . . Regardless, Jae-ha will quietly be on his guard as Sousei sleeps. He rests with his back right against the door, listening in case anyone wants to test their luck, in case the amount of blood that's been shed hasn't been enough for them. It gives him time to think... about Gi-gan, about Sharpay, about everything that he's so suddenly lost.
He's not alone in this room... but it's enclosed, quiet, away from anyone that he doesn't already innately trust.
It's the most comfortable place he's had access to all weekend.
He'll wait, however long it takes Sousei to wake up.]
[As promised, despite not having slept since Thursday, Sousei sleeps for exactly five hours and then wakes up, sitting up promptly as if wide awake (spoilers: he is not wide awake, but it's muscle memory helping him now).
He does at least allow himself a stretch, and his hair is rumpled, so he's not totally a robot.
[Jae-ha is only going to get away with this because Sousei is absolutely still half asleep and just kind of mumbles some sort of assent as he waves a hand, standing up and.
Starting to make the bed.
Oh my god I hate that I'm typing this myself in murdertown.]
[He was totally running on autopilot and he only just then properly wakes up, between Jae-ha's fingers messing with his hair and also the hand over his.
He pauses.
Blinks.
Ah... he has not gotten enough sleep at all this week.]
... Hm. [He snorts briefly with some good humor, at least, at his own expense.]
I suppose that answers the question of if dragons must also sleep.
[... Definitely pushing his luck. Sousei yanks his hand back immediately, frowning, and then proceeds to yank Jae-ha's ponytail on his way to sit by the door.
And while he notes the boots, he really doesn't care; he knows why Jae-ha isn't removing them from what they've spoken of before and the tapestries, and he has no particular interest in prying.
So he will fall silent, and peace will settle on the room.]
[Jae-ha sleeps, and he doesn't dream - and for that, he's grateful.
He doesn't sleep long, because he's hungry, and because the notion of snoozing for as long as he wants while Sousei feels obligated to keep guard of him doesn't sit well with him. So after a few hours, he blinks his eyes open and... doesn't want to face the day.
It feels all the clearer now - he's waking up in a world without his Captain. Without his companions. With just barely a leg to stand on.
Jae-ha seems to laugh faintly at that - though there's a certain note of tiredness in the noise. There's a moment where the exhaustion shows on his face, in more than just the bags underneath his eyes, and then he seems to shake his head as if to bat it away.]
... it has been, but we're not in a position where we're comfortable enough to sleep to our heart's content just yet.
[He can't really blame Jae-ha for that. He was much the same, after all. No time to really rest--there is too much to be done, and too much to process.
Too much tragedy already.]
Naturally it does not matter to me. So long as you consider yourself rested enough, it is fine.

Jae-ha is going to take that pillow from the floor and put it on the bed, staring directly at Sousei as he does it.]
no subject
Fine.
Fine!!
Whatever!!
He'll move towards the bed!!]

Nice.]
no subject
Soldiers.
[Jae-ha just says that under his breath, laughing faintly as he does. He moves to stand then and - ]
I'm going to fix your hair.
[Because it gives him something to do after five hours of Thinking.]

anyway
Jae-ha is just going to laugh a little bit as he does fix Sousei's hair but also places his hand over Sousei's before he continues to fix the bed - ]
Do you think I don't get a turn?

Because with that hand over Sousei's, he's going to then take that hand and bring it up so he can kiss the back of it.]
When I do, I promise it'll be dreams of you.
no subject
Stop being a weirdass loser.]
I would rather you not, quite frankly.
no subject
Ah - that woke me up more than put me to sleep.
[ . . . but he won't deny that he's tired. Jae-ha moves to sit in the bed, reaching to undo the tie in his hair but.]
... if you have business to take care of, you're free to. You don't have to stay.
no subject
[Immediate response!
But also like--]
There is nowhere else I currently have to be. I have a duty here, as well.
[Jae-ha watched over his sleep. Sousei will do the same.]
no subject
.... well, he's not removing his boots, so he's just making sure that where he sleeps has his feet hanging over the bed end, to be polite.]
... if you're sure.
Wake me before the kitchen closes, at least? We should eat before we don't have the option to anymore.
no subject
[He'll accept that!

Good morning, beautiful.... ♥
[He can at least make play at being alright.]
no subject
[T...thanks, Sousei.
This is clearly how he's going to deal with Jae-ha being a Big Useless Gay. He's just responding with exactly what Jae-ha asked of him before.
Nice.]
no subject
At least have a more fun reaction.
no subject
[Frankly. Anyway--]
You woke earlier than I expected.
no subject
[he's going to try harder
but also give him a second, he's also going to find a mirror and make sure that his hair looks nice]
And did you think that I'd pass out entirely?
no subject
[NOPE.]
And I was not sure what to expect, precisely, but you cannot deny that it has been an incredibly trying week.
