[ 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.
