I'd say he could use some tips from Lloyd, but...I don't think we'd want to see the aftermath of that.
[ She's joking, of course, which seems to be a post-stress outcome of finally processing awkward news with a trusted friend.
Perhaps its selfish, to take comfort in so small a gesture, especially when Sophia knows better. But friends leaning on friends is entirely normal behaviour, isn't it? And they are at least that, after all, if nothing else. ]
Do we, though? [at this angle, he can't likely see the lopsided smile] Given how many people have been pulled here from so many different worlds, it may be premature to say there's only one.
[That does get a chuckle out of Kratos. But rly though he and Jaguar both could probably use sone conversational tips from Lloyd.
Its totally normal and they are totally friends. Friends that lean on each other and hild hands sometimes and stay up late chatting with coffee most nights. Totally just bffs.]
...Damn, I think I just felt my age for a moment...
[god no he doesn't want to deal with ANOTHER weird double world bullshit situation, let him rest]
[finally remembering that he's had a cup of (now lukewarm) coffee, he pauses to take a sip. He then immediately realizes that he forgot his cream and sugar, but rather than disturb Sophia's lounging, he just sucks it up and drinks it black.
He probably turned his sense of taste off like a baby but shhh nobody needs to know.]
I can't promise that my solutions won't come to threatening bodily harm, though.
[thats still pretty highly on the list you madman. ITS FINE THOUGH, JUST A JOKE!!
Since he is kind of being used as a human pillow, its hard to miss just how exhausted she is. He'd hate to make her get up, but this probably isn't the most comfortable place to sleep.]
Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to get sone sleep? I just finished changing the bedding for you.
[ Her answer is interrupted by a rather unlady-like yawn, and a hand comes up to cover her mouth rather belatedly after the fact. ]
I suppose. [her eyes blink open, bleary. he may not think so, but she's honestly quite comfortable. but she knows Kratos, he's going to insist until she does.] ...You didn't have to do that for me, but thank you.
[ She's been so used to doing things for the sake of others, she honestly hadn't thought of it that way. If there's some measure of reluctances when she sits up properly, it's hard to tell behind the sleepy but happy smile she gives him. ]
You already do. [perhaps that's a little more honest, a little more fond than she otherwise would intend, slipping past her guard thanks to tiredness] I'll see you in the morning, then?
[ There can be time for headaches and worry in the morning. Assuming she can manage at least a few hours sleep, at least. ]
[Kratos isn't one for getting flustered, nor is he the sort of person who blushes easily about pretty much anything at all, but something about the way she says that strikes something within him in a way that he hasn't felt in a long time. He can't put his finger on it at all, which mostly just leaves him feeling confused, but not in a bad way? He can't explain it.
The slightest hint of pink colors his cheeks, but in the dim light of the small lamp on the table, it might not be easy to make out. After a few more seconds than may be necessary, Kratos finally replies, somehow totally smoothly despite his sudden internal turmoil. Huh weird way to react to your friend/housemate right???]

I'm sorry to share this burden with you..But thank you for listening. I'm not sure what I would have done if I'd had only my own counsel on this.

Heheh.. So long as it isn't the first solution on the list, I think we can consider that progress.
[ A joke!! One she gently lobs back to him, even as she fights the onset of tiredness attempting to have her fall asleep where she sits next to him. ]

You're out there trying to make life better for everyone, the least I can do is make things easier for you here.

Of course, I'll be here. Sleep well.
