can we hurt together

He never meant to fall asleep, but sometime a little before dawn Iroh’s eyes lipped shut and he hadn’t roused. Thankfully they were safe in the time between his slumber starting and the moment that Banshee woke up. He didn’t stir at all, his body rising and falling softly with the evenness of his breath. His snoring was soft enough that he didn’t disturb his companion much. He might have slept the rest of the morning, but Banshee’s soft touch was at his cheek and her voice at his ear.

Iroh blinked back his sleep as he caught his breath. He felt a bit groggy as he realized where he was and what had happened. ”Banshee,” His deep voice greeted her softly, he felt himself instinctively grab for her smaller form with his massive ash paws. ”I’m sorry I didn’t mean to fall asleep.” He gave her an apologetic chuckle. ”How long have you been awake?” He continued to blink back his sleep, once he was fully aware it’d be easier to overcome the drunk feeling. He yawned heavily, releasing her as he aimed to roll over and onto his paws to shake himself awake.
