Don't think either of us will mind. Actually, that reminds me. Bud, this is okay, right? The two crystals aren't gonna cause a problem with each other?

[He has no idea how one would work with the other, and their magics have never interfered dangerously before, but they've never been so... entwined. He doesn't want Pyra to end up getting hurt for saving him.

In response to his call, Carbuncle pads casually around the two, ears flicking. It stretches out, yawns hugely for such a little creature, then curls up wordlessly against Noct's side, tucked in a spot between their bodies. Noctis blinks, then relaxes again.]

...Guess that settles it.

I think Carbuncle has the right idea. [ She reaches out to pet the little Messenger behind its ears. ] Do you think you can follow his lead, Noct?

[ Her hand returns to his chest, drawing a heart over his heart. There's people waiting for him outside, and she's sure he'd know that without her telling. But if she says that now, perhaps he'd only want to wake up sooner, and right now she wishes to encourage rest. ]

[His eyes follow her hand, after a moment recognizing her intention. The fact that he'd ended up back in her lap so quickly is clue enough of what's necessary- and would be, even without her multiple reminders to take it easy and rest. Yeah, he's at least 75% of the way there already, feeling the strain on his eyes trying to keep them open. It's bound to be worse when he's in his real body.

He doesn't want to sleep and wake up on the other side, in truth. Not for a while yet. Doing that will mean more pain and exhaustion than here, confronting the consequences of what just happened, having to answer uncomfortable questions. That time will come no matter what he does, but... still. It's difficult.

Nevertheless, he closes his eyes.]

...You'll be there?

[Needy, a little clingy perhaps when she's already given so much, but he doesn't want to wake up alone.]

[iustaegis]

I'll be there.

[ Lifting her hand to her lips, she kisses the tips of two of her fingers, then pressing the pads of them to the center of his lips, sealing the promise.

He's welcome to sleep within this realm until he's ready, and it's likely to be a gentler rest than if he were slumbering within the confines of his own physical body. Until he's ready to wake, she'll be with him. ]
