[ She waits for his eyes to close, and he'll feel her hands go about his shoulder to pull him towards her, pivoting his torso, lowering him...
So that his head is now in her lap. There. Better. This is the first thing she had ever asked him-- all the way back when they first met. He had been too shy then to accept, even if he had been dozing upon the bench just before. She had thought, then, how peaceful this place must have been, to have a youth sleeping so soundly out in the open, in broad daylight.
Now, that same young man appears even more tired than he had ever been back then, yet refuses to sleep even in the safest, most peaceful portions of the temples. He either needs a distraction or rest; doing this might give one, the other, or both. Her voice comes softly, ] You do not need to sleep... But I do think you need some rest. [ Even if it's just resting his head down! ]
