[What does he want? A question so simple shouldn't have his mind roiling, and yet it does, his gaze casting curiously over her features, down to the bed, to the space between them. With her lying on top of him he'd felt a little pressured to do more - not so much by her as by the implication of it - and with her shifting away, he wonders if it was something he'd failed to do. She looks so content, though, so he's probably just overthinking things as usual. It's not like he's ready for much else; he's not the sort to dive straight into the deep end like this, not like Gladio who could have a regular rotation of eager bedfellows if he so desired. He's not used to being the one with eyes on him. At least, not for this. Pyra doesn't want him for the crown, she wants...

...actually, he's not sure about that, either. But since she's asking him, his hand seeks out and finds hers again, fingers twining together. Lying like this, pausing to actually think again, he's realizing that he hasn't quite slept off the wine yet, and the headache is coming back. Next to her, basking in her warmth, the drowsiness of before is returning as well.]


...Stay for a while?

[The question is asked tentatively, like when he'd asked her not to leave him alone with the shadows of his future vision, frightened of his own mind. This time the request is different, however- asked not to comfort, but to enjoy. He wants her company, even if he doesn't need it.]
