Dear lord he wants to sleep so badly, but he also knows he shouldn't. He dropped all the stuff needed in a bowl, thanking basil but not quite worrying about the order for once... talking about sleeping didn't make things easier.

"I..."

That was not a no, not from Basil. It was more a 'I could use it ut I don't want to burden you' and considering he was starting to speak Basilian a bit... well, he could make it his own problem? So the other wouldn't feel guilt for reaching for a hand?

"Well, I wouldn't really mind? I used to sleep with either Hero or the guys, so it would feel like home? And, huh... I guess it could be a mutual favor? As long as you're not uncomfortable with the idea. And as long as you don't mind me moving around in my sleep, of course..."

He did close his eyes after that, fully leaning against the pantry and almost dropping the bowl down before jumping back awake. Fuck. Okay, he... needed to talk aout anything but beds.

"So, yeah, I guess it would make me happy too? But I think we need to change topic. I can't exactly... sleep tonight. NOt until I see healers tomorrow." A pause. He did promise to be a bit more honest, right? "Huh... the truth is... know that ghost who got me I think it kind of gave me some kind of nightmare curse, hah... so all things combined are making it weird for me. But I'm good, really, it's just a matter of... resisting until tomorrow."
