...perhaps Felih is more than just a--

No. No that way lies pain.

Emet sighs and relaxes at long last, giving in to Felih's odd ways. "I am exhausted. But, as they say, no rest for the wicked."

Felih manages a weak smile, but moves back in, head resting against the man's shoulder now, as he shuts his eyes and just holds him. It still surprises him that the man feels warm. Of course he does, he's in a living body, after all- but Felih has grown too accustomed to the idea of Ascians simply being spirits of darkness, cold and ethereal.

"Yes," he murmurs, "so they say. I'm exhausted, too."

There's nothing Emet-Selch can say to that. He can imagine how exhausting it must be, playing the hero to a bunch of fragmented souls who in ten years time will have forgotten all about him, to say nothing of taking in all that Light.

Instead he just lets Felih lie, mind swirling.

Felih purrs quietly as he rests there, curled up in his lap. It's only as he finds himself drifting to sleep that he realizes, faintly, in the back of his mind...

This feels familiar, somehow.

He does the most stupid, reckless thing he could ever imagine himself doing, and fell asleep in the Ascian's lap, breaths slow and deep and soft, body relaxed and warm against his. He should not feel at ease, here. He should be on highest alert, sleeping lightly as he always does, uncomfortable with being out in the open amid wild creatures and an enemy against him, and yet...

...well, mayhaps he is too exhausted, after all. Something tells him he'll wake up alright.
