... you don't have to apologize, I was already still awake. I couldn't sleep either. (Not that he's going to admit the reasons knowing their positions make that difficult. It's a fleeting dream. Something he knows that he shouldn't think about so much yet it seems to be lingering now more than ever; with him not really bothering to think of awakening others by this point. They can be alone however much that causes his feelings to almost seem overjoyed at the prospect of him attempting to get her to notice.

He is her general, not someone that she should take as a lover knowing that losing him would hurt her more if he did fall. He'd prefer that to not be the outcome too even as he finds himself struggling with it.

Regardless, he can't help but just smile a little at the thought of them both being unable to rest though he fails to appear stern this time. It must be because it's so late and he hasn't necessarily slept yet. He can chalk it up to his emotions and his mind clouding his logic for the time being anyway.)

Were you wanting to do anything then given that it doesn't seem like either of us are sleeping? (Not that he minds being the bodyguard here. It sounded a lot better than dealing with Itto's loudness as he tries to flirt with a few girls to get their attention as the bigshot gang leader in the area. A fact which somewhat gives Gorou a migraine at times with how loud he is despite their closeness.

Part of him hopes that she does want to go out of the Tenryou Commission for a bit so that he could distract himself. Though knowing her she might prefer to curl up alone instead.)
