[nose to nose, curled close. she closes her eyes, stroking his hair back.
she doesn't say anything for now, worn out. instead, she wiggles closer, tucking her head under his chin, and clings. falls asleep this way, too, if he doesn't stop her.
curiously though, if he keeps his hand around the back of her neck, he might feel something strange. a mark, or rather, something that feels more like an injury. a small, healing hole, ridged around the edges like a burn. huh.]
gu yun's a little longer to fall asleep. despite a long, long night, there's still a lot on his mind, and... yeah. stroking the back of her neck, he finds that, sensitive touch gentling over it before they stop at the edge.
...hm.
he's awake for a lot longer than he thought he would be, after that.
-- so. it's an hour or so later when he's rousing and getting ready to get up and head for the medbay, but a conversation's lingering on his mind even now, so. as he's getting himself back together, fixing his robes and combing his hair that he glances back at lup for a moment. ]
... Lup. [ it probably doesn't matter. but it's... ] ...If I ask about a gift someone was given, can you tell me about it?
He left it with Endorsi, I found out. [ the purr is cute... if he completely believes this explanation or not... well, it's not obvious either way, but he does lean over and press a kiss to her forehead. ]
Alright. Rest well, Lup. I may reach out again later in the evening.

...A toy, shaped like a mongoose.

Oh. It doesn't do anything. It's just a toy that I gave him while we were hanging out. [...] He'd never seen one before. So.
