[ he's already taken a shower and no one else is grievously injured, feel free to prank them again for the night.
laying on his back isn't very comfortable, considering the massive wound that's scarred over there, so he settles on his side facing lalli in return. and he tries, very tiredly, to - honestly, be okay. but it's hard to be.
he reaches out, cupping lalli's cheek and looking at him like that. ]
[It's okay to not be okay. Lalli's mantra this whole time has been 'help Kon turn off his brain for a while,' and that means turning off the dark, PTSD-filled thoughts too. It won't make him better, but it will make sleep come easier tonight.
But before he does that, he's going to pull off his cloak and shift it over to Kon.]
...familiar smells help make sleep come easier, so hold onto this until tomorrow.
[Yes, he's absolutely saying that since he can't be there all night, Kon should hold onto his smell anyway. It's about as sappy as he can get though, so.]
[ at least sleep is mandatory on thursdays. otherwise, kon probably wouldn't be getting any sleep, will probably spend the entire time up to midnight awake and on edge. but this - this will help. he takes the cloak, smiling a little more now. a security blanket.
he's not upset about it, and instead brings it forward and to his chest. lalli's so much smaller than him that it won't fit quite right in any manner of speaking, but it'll still help. ]
[Honestly, he's not wrong! It is absolutely a security blanket right now. And Lalli doesn't mind lending it out for serious moment like this. He just wants to wrap Kon up and make him feel safe and content, but this is the best he can do for now. A little more secure.
With a pleased nod, Lalli moves to the book he brought. It's a book of fairy tales! The traditional bedtime story. And if Kon lets him, Lalli will read from it (steady but a bit stilted in pronunciation and fluency, he's still not the best reader) until either Kon falls asleep or Lalli is kicked out by curfew.]
