[ bedtime is any time he's too tired to do anything else, ok! ]

Hmn? Aren't I there? [ his eyes may be open, but his brain has yet to get the message, which is ironic since it's the sender. such a terrible connection, add tuning that up to his to-do list. ]

[Sleep more, Winn. Sleep more.] Kara's office. [Running fingers softly through his hair.]

That explains why this pillow sucks.

[ but getting up..so much resistance. eyes flickering shut again. ]

[She moves around to help him. Thinking maybe Kara's couch is a better idea.] I've got you. [Looping an arm around him for support.]

[ and he wraps an arm around her in return -- and pulls her close. ]

We live here now.

[ with a content sigh. ]

[She can't help but laugh softly. Silly sleep-deprived boyfriend.] Mmmhmm. I'll have our mail forwarded. [Such an old reference for her if the prison hadn't had mail. She gives him a squeeze but then starts shifting toward that couch.]

We get mail? It's not just bills, is it.

[ his mouth gets no help from his head at the moment, things could get interesting. he doesn't fight her, but he isn't exactly helping her along here either, so moving him may be a bit of a pain. ]

[She should have let him get a sore neck apparently.] And junk mail. Come on, handsome. Follow your girlfriend. [She could probably carry him if it really came down to it. She's strong and knows the physics of handling weight distribution, but she doesn't want to jar him into waking up too much.]

[ so harsh. ]

Then screw it.

[ he leans his head against her and tries to follow -- better think fast or he'll end up on the floor though, cuz another thing that fell asleep in his awkward position? his legs. ]

[She still would have massaged it?

When she feels him slipping she adjusts quickly to take on more of his weight, but since she wasn't prepared for it, it makes a pretty terrible long-term solution.]

Winn! [Sorry baby, soft voice time is over.]

[ the urgency in her voice seems to do it - he tries to straighten up but with nothing but a terrible tingling sensation to guide his feet with, he twists his ankle and comes crashing down.

and that finally wakes him up. ]

...ow. [ rubbing his eyes. ] I'm up, I'm up - figuratively - [ slowly trying to move his legs to regain sensation. ]

[She tried to right him to the point of falling with him when it wasn't possible.] Not as intended. [Shifting because that wasn't the most comfortable way to land.] Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah I'm fine.

[ scootching towards her he kisses her cheek. ] You?

[She smiles lightly.] You kissed me, so pretty good.

You fell. [Not bothering to get up just yet.]

So that's what happened! I'm relieved, I thought the floor came up.

Nope. Not this time. [Nuzzle.] Why'd you fall?

I'm only awake from the knees up.

[ tapping his shins in an attempt to accelerate the process. ]

Oooh, tingly? Move your legs around.

Trying to -

[ slowly trying to move his ankles and ignore the annoying feeling it shoots up his legs. ]

-- so what were we doing before the falling?

We were practicing to be in a space circus. Or I was trying to help you get somewhere comfortable to sleep.

I don't wanna be a clown, they're freaky.

[ she gets another kiss, this time to her lips. ]

Thank you.

You can be the elephant. [Kissing back.]

Are you thanking me on my super successful attempt to get you somewhere comfortable to sleep?

Rude.

[ he's in the best shape of his life over here! ]

Mmmhhhhm, yeah, super comfy - [ sprawling himself on her ]

I like elephants. And you can't be the tiger. I'm the tiger. [This floor is not that comfy, sir. But he's cute and she can't bring herself to argue for getting up.]

The elephant and the tiger. Sounds like a fable.

[ it's what he was counting on! ]
