[Two weeks. It's been two weeks since he's woken up. Since he brought back the light. Since they took Ardyn down. Since then, he's been spending most of his time in meetings and in caravans. He's been helping the others take out the demons (he's not going to let them do all the work on their own). Everyone has been helpful, and offered their assistance, which the pri-no, King (that was still strange to think about) was grateful for.
But despite everything, it was a little too much. He was tired, exhausted. With everything going on, it felt as though he could never get a moments rest. It feels as though he can't find a moment to sit and think, or even just a chance to be alone with anyone he cared about. Sure, there were very short moments they he could steal with Gladio--quick kisses and passing touches, but it wasn't enough.
Last night was no different. He was up late into the night discussing a few things with a few advisors (Ignis had been there the whole time). The only moment he had with Gladio was the long look across the room, and a passing touch on his shoulder. Soon after that, they had all gone to bed which was where he currently was. There were some meetings he had to attend, but he'd let Ignis take care of it. He was tired, and he just needed a moment to rest.
He was awake, but he was still lazing around. He eventually heard the door open, and the heavy footsteps that could only belong to his shield. It was only confirmed when he heard his low voice. ]
Mn, yeah? [His voice was still rough with sleep, and he still had his head against the pillows. Maybe he'd get up in 5 more minutes.]
