[She sure does look a whole lot better than she did when she first dragged herself in here. Not 100%, but getting better all the same. His mind briefly drifts to wondering if maybe he'd gotten enough for her while he was out, but no. He did, it's fine, no need to be overly concerned. It wouldn't surprise him in the slightest if Haru was just miraculously completely back to her old self within the hour, honestly.
After a long moment of considering her- admiring her, really- Legosi lifts his free hand so he can sortof gently let the knuckle of his index finger brush against the side of one of her cheeks.]
We have plenty of time in the day left. You would probably benefit from a nap.
[she makes a half-hearted defiant gesture with her hand, then reaches up to pat the side of his face as she finishes up her granola bar and washes it down with the bottle of water she had set aside. at her leisure. her nausea has, thankfully abated (turns out food help!) but there's no denying there's still a dull throbbing in her skull, body still aching and tired.
she relishes in the silence though, quiet and easy, and she leans into his touch. even if she'll feel slightly embarrassed should she read over her texts to him, at how whiny and needy she had acted, it's all worth it honestly.]
I'll nap, but only if you join me. [she sets the bottle down beside the futon, scooting so she can lay down. the room swims a bit from the motion, but it's easier to remain stable, and looking up at him she pats the mattress beside her.] Come.
[said lightheartedly, but in a commanding way, the corners of her eyes crinkling a bit as she smiles.]
Legosi still watches Haru carefully, concerned for her wellbeing as much as he's relatively sure she's going to be just fine at this point, before he follows her over to the futon. What took her several paces to reach barely takes him a single step, his tail still wagging as he stands up. Had it ever really stopped wagging at any point?
When he sits down, his weight causes the entire side of the futon to depress for a moment until he shifts to more evenly distribute his weight, laying close to the edge so he's not taking up all of the available space. Never mind the fact that Haru is small enough to curl up in basically any negative space he creates, assuming she doesn't choose to sleep on top of him outright.]
If you need anything for your head, let me know. I'll bring it to you.
[He's already laying down but he'll make the extra effort if necessary, it's fine.]
[the sound of Legosi's tail is a comforting, familiar sound, almost always near constant and...honestly, the benefits of dating a canine (even a big strange lug like Legosi) means that their emotions are almost always easy to read, at least when they're happy.
or being nosy...
she feels the bed shift as Legosi takes his spot next to her, the mattress at an incline, but she uses it as an excuse to go with the momentum and snuggle closer to him regardless of the fact he's pointedly taking a spot at the edge of the futon. like a gentleman...but it's too kind and she's feeling much too needy to deal with someone being overly considerate.
even if her movements don't come as easily, still taking it slow, she does adjust to get in the space at the crook of his arm, hand coming up to rest near his chest, resting her head against him like he's a body pillow and not a six-foot-something apex predator.]
You're the same temperature as a hot-water bottle. [she sounds sleepy.] I think that's all I need for my head.
[It's almost too perfect how well she fits against him, despite everything in both nature and reality screaming against it. It's like they were made for each other despite being two pieces from completely different puzzles, and despite having felt her touch many times over at this point, her softness never ceases to cause the fur on the back of his neck to rise. He's almost loath to move too much lest he disturb her, so small and curled up against his chest. Once she's still, he curves his arm in a bit closer to himself so he's holding her halfway, letting his muzzle settle somewhere between her ears. He can feel them tickling the sides of his cheeks, but he doesn't mind it at all.]
If you're sure...
[Ah, his poor heart. It feels like it's going to explode right out of his chest at any moment.]

At least until I fall asleep.

Go to sleep, Haru-chan.
