[ Those words mean much more than Caleus could ever hope to express. For someone who values memories so deeply, someone who lost all his memories before, it means just as much as the world for him. After all, after what happened, now his memories don't belong to him alone anymore. It now belongs to Subaru, to all his friends, and an entire planet that's waiting for him.
So Caelus tries to smile despite the heavy tears, or how his heart seems to want to suffocate him right now, but the smile is genuine and pure. The second statement eases him shortly, feeling all the weight finally land on him. And he gives in to that feeling, his consciousness falling into a soft slumber as the tears remain on his face.
His arms remain clutched around Subaru, his body still curled against his lap on that peaceful trailer's floor. Anko finally stirs after watching everything in silence, letting out a tiny "myuu" as it watches its master sleep. That position can't be good for Caelus, considering his recovering injuries, too⦠]
[ Subaru doesn't keep track of how long he stays like that on the floor, cradling Caelus until he calms and eventually slips into slumber. The deep, rhythmic cadence of his breathing passes the time until eventually, Anko's soft noise rouses him. Blinking some of the fogginess away, Subaru shifts to glance down at it, smiling briefly. ]
I know. I probably shouldn't let him stay down here for much longer, should I?
[ Taking a careful moment to untuck Caelus's arms from him, Subaru helps guide him up onto his feet. He's slight, but stronger than he looks. He walks him out of the kitchenette and up the few stairs to the bed, peeling back the blankets to coax him to crawl in.
Once tucked in, Subaru leans out to pick up Anko and also set it gently on the bed. ]
[ Anko purrs happily at Subaru, then follows the two further in, once a very sleepy trailblazer is helped up. Caelus's eyes are blurry, and he can't tell where he's walking, but he knows where he is and what happened. He knows who's helping him walk, too. Of course he does⦠Their tether is filled with silent fondness.
Once the blankets are moved for him, Caelus lies down carefully and falls back asleep instantly right after. Anko is still purring, especially when Subaru picks it up. But it quiets down so as not to disturb Caelus once it's atop the bed. Instead, it heads over to curl up against its master, joining him in slumber.

This little trailer truly feels so warm now. ]
