[Weird can be good if you let it, Wanderer...

Heizou just chuckles softly at that.]

Hm... I do seem to keep running into it, don't I. Usually I'm perfectly capable of handling myself, too! There really must be something about the nature of this world that's affecting us all~

[threebetrayals]

[And Wanderer just scoffs at that because there is no way you're capable, Heizou, not after all of this.]

[book2thehead]

[Wow, he sees right through that scoff, Wanderer! He quirks an eyebrow at him, head tilting ever so slightly.]

Man alive, you don't have to think that quite so loudly you know.

[threebetrayals]

What, are you telepathic now?

[book2thehead]

No, I'm observant. Your thoughts were all over your face!

[threebetrayals]

Of course they were.

[Smirking~]

[book2thehead]

[He's reaching over to poke at that smirk! Rude!]

I'll have you know I managed perfectly fine completely on my own back home! Relying so entirely on others is new for me, too!

[threebetrayals]

[He swats Heizou's hand away again.]

If you say so.

[book2thehead]

[He pokes at him a few more times anyway, just for getting swatted at.]

You can even ask the Traveler about it the next time he appears, if you want. I'm very independent.

[threebetrayals]

Mhm. You should rest.

[Moving on--]

[book2thehead]

[That just-- makes him huff. But fine.]

I've been asleep for a month. You should rest.

[threebetrayals]

It wasn't like I was here every single hour of every single day. I had to keep Nahida from dying of frostbite.

[book2thehead]

That doesn't help your case at all. It sounds like something else you deserve to take a rest over.

[threebetrayals]

I'm fine, Heizou. You just woke up from a coma.

[book2thehead]

Then how about I stay up for a while to read while you get some sleep?

[threebetrayals]

Because I am fine, for the last time, and you need more actual rest!

[Honestly.]

[book2thehead]

I can rest while I read! I'm not saying I'm going to jump up and do laps around Reverein in the middle of the night, after all.

[threebetrayals]

[He scoffs.]

If I agree to stay with you, will you stop nagging me to rest and actually rest yourself?

[book2thehead]

[That... makes Heizou's cheeks go pink, even as his whole face basically lights up with delight.]

Yes.

[threebetrayals]

Then fine, I'll stay with you a little longer. Happy?

[book2thehead]

[Heizou beams, nodding once. Yes. He's... very happy, actually.]

..Thank you.

[threebetrayals]

...whatever. [Please ignore the weird feeling in his gut at that.] Your books are where you left them.

[book2thehead]

[He starts to get up so he can find the book he'd been reading before he fell asleep, only to realize his legs are still a little wobbly under him and drop back onto the bed.]

..Huh. I guess this'll take a little longer than I thought.

[threebetrayals]

I told you. Which book?

[book2thehead]

[He lets out a little sigh and starts to swing his legs a little over the edge of the bed, just so that they're moving again. All while he tells Wanderer the title of the book.]

I think I fell asleep holding it. I was only about a third of the way through.
