[As she drifts off, he holds her close, his hand on her hair and down her back slowing more and more as he starts to fall into sleep himself. Her movements do wake him up from time to time, just enough so he snuggles a bit closer along with her, pulling the blanket tighter around them.
It has been so long now since he's been able to sleep at all, let alone so comfortably. Now that he's cleansed, he knows how little sleep he truly got, since Thiazi would take his body as soon as night fell and made him do such truly horrible things. His own nightmares make him shiver, and unfortunately his nightmares aren't caused by the corruption, but his own guilt.
He remains asleep for a little while after she wakes up, his arms still holding her close to her body. And then, he's slowly subconsciously aware that she's awake and his eyes blink open, gazing blearily at her. When she flops her head back down, he's fully awake then and lifts his head from the pillow to look down at her.]
