[ hello there. ]

Mm. No, not tired.

[ he lifts one of his arms just enough to peer out from underneath it up at higekiri, thoughtful and surprisingly sharp for someone who just woke up. ]</small. Did you just wake up?

It was a nice nap.

[but he tends to sleep pretty lightly]

I'm glad you're safe from the demons this week - at least in one way.

[ hmm. well, there was no chance of them sleeping for very long then, between the two of them. ]

In one way. It'd be very presumptuous to say in general.

[ he tilts his head a little on the pillow, shifting his vision. ]

Ah, were you making sure I didn't go unravished this week for the sake of avoiding death by abstenance?

We're friends, you know?

[he says this rather plainly, looking amused at the question]

I would be rather unhappy if any unfortunately befell you - so I thought I should at the very least help where I could.

You still have a very loose definition of friendship.

[ he looks amused by the answer. ]

It's more beneficial to just do as they've asked for the sake of not dying out of stubborn stupidity, don't you think?

Haha, I don't mind. You don't strike me as a bad person, so there's nothing wrong with us being friends.

[so easily,,]

Mm, I do. It's a shame... but we have to be alive in order to find answers on how to break the system.

We can't do anything if we're dead. It'd be a shame to die because of the one thing we can actually prevent.

[ even with. y'know. stdemons. ]

I wonder -- are you just the trusting sort, or the sort that's so drawn to people you accept friendship after basic pleasant interaction?

[higekiri just hums thoughtfully at that, like he's trying to make sure he gives it a proper answer]

.... mm, I've seen humanity exist for a long time, I suppose. I wouldn't say that I'm trusting...

But simply that I've seen the sadness that can come from being distrusting to people who do not deserve it.
