[ Attempting to apologize to her, and to give his thanks to Alisaie were the two main priorities that he wished to see to before anything else could happen, and now that they have, he finds himself having to fight off the waves of exhaustion that are threatening to pull him under. But now, he has a rising sense of guilt to contend with, because they have all gone through so much trouble because of him, and he doubts he will ever be able to repay them.
But for the moment, he just lies there watching both Alkaid and Alisaie as they converse and as Alkaid moves over to see if the young Elezen needs assistance. His eyelids are growing heavier once more, but he fights to keep them open because he does not wish to be parted from them and from the waking world just yet.
The squeeze of his hand that Alkaid gives him is appreciated, because a selfish part of him wants her to remain by his side, but he has already concluded that perhaps she should sleep in another room that she might be able to rest undisturbed. Surely having to assist him has worn her out, and in his mind, she needs a reprieve as well.
But before too long, the woman he loves more than anything returns, and he continues fighting off the sleep that is calling him. ]
Estinien, Alphinaud... Your sister. [ Obviously, he has not been outside this room so he should not know who is in the sitting room, but he dimly recalls hearing voices coming from that direction and his mind filled in the gaps for him. It makes sense that Alphinaud and K'thisru would be here to support their siblings, and of course, Estinien has been a constant presence.
His words are hushed, and more mumbled than anything else, but stringing sentences together is proving difficult for him at the moment. ]
Are they well?
[ He has something else he wishes to ask, something that is beginning to pull on his mind and heart, but even as he tries to communicate with her, his eyes begin sliding shut as if saying that he can no longer stay awake. ]
