I understand.

[She wouldn't argue with him even if she could have. Something like that isn't a thing to be debated.

Guizhong tucks her hair behind her ear, leans down, and gently kisses his forehead.]

I hope you know that if there is anything I can do for you, I shall most certainly do it.

[Then she exhales softly and sits back, still combing her fingers through his hair. It's a puzzle, to be sure... something difficult to solve... but perhaps she could think of something that would give him everything he wants. Perhaps.

Her fingertips rub idly against his scalp as she hums a quiet tune.]

{ his eyes flutter when she leans down, doing his best to not flinch on impulse when logically he knows nothing bad is coming. it's when she presses the gentle kiss to his forehead that he finally lets himself relax, lets himself sink into her and the couch. to lean into her warmth. }

This is already more than enough.

{ and despite saying he wouldn't be able to easily fall asleep, he does shut his eyes now, at least intending to rest even if it doesn't equate to slumber. }

[She hums a little, stroking her fingers over his hair, then lapses into a soft tune that she remembers from when she was much, much younger than she is now.

Guizhong sinks back into the couch cushions and closes her eyes, content to stay there for as long as he needs her.]

{ it takes time, of course it does, but after some time he does eventually drift off to sleep. it isn't an easy sleep, but it is easier with her being there. she'll see his brow furrow at points, but he isn't waking up in a cold sweat. he isn't screaming out.

it's an improvement. }
