Hanako hummed when she felt Mortis settle beside her, he was more than welcome to lean on her, she wasn't overly fussy about personal space. Or at least she usually pretended not to be, with Mortis it didn't feel like a pretence nor could she feel the weight of the mask upon her face. She didn't know what if it meant if anything at all but she was too tired to care, let alone question it in that moment. Instead she grumbled a bit when Mortis pried her paw loose, only to begin to knead it, chasing away the tightness that lingered in her joints and muscles. At first she wanted to protest, to shoo him away and make him get some rest but...it actually felt quite good. Really nice actually, like all the days worth of travel had just melted away. Besides, Hanako just didn't have it in her heart to deny him and if this is what he wanted to do to keep his mind occupied then she wasn't gonna complain. Instead she offered him a warning.
"'M gonna fall...asleep if you do that." She'd probably fall asleep regardless, she was just that tired. "'Promise though...you won't go?" Even in her state she would've have put it past him to try and sneak off when he knew she was conked out, dead to the world.
Just in case she stretched a hind leg out, hooking her paw around his. He'd really have to jostle about to shake her loose and she was pretty sure she wasn't that much of a heavy sleeper. Probably? Maybe? Hopefully. She would have asked her companions to keep a look out but that wasn't fair and she imagined they'd already gone to bed anyway. She'd just have to trust him, hope that he could see she was only forcing the issue because it was the right thing to do.
