[ the patterns she's drawing on his skin have him drifting, but not so much that he can't pick up on her emotions. he lifts his head and suddenly they're so close, but it doesn't feel like too much. not yet. ]

What's wrong? [ is it him? he's already finding a way to blame himself while he waits for her verdict. ]

[She looks like a person who has been caught doing something she shouldn't. Elektra rushes to try to blink it back. It's hard genie to put back in the bottle. A tear falls despite her efforts or maybe because of them.] Nothing's wrong. [She takes her hand off his arm to wipe it away.] I'm being ridiculous. Get some rest.

[ that tear makes him want to wipe it away, but then she does it and he releases a barely audible sigh. ]

Only if you do, too. [ an insistence as he tucks his head into her throat and tentatively palms her waist. he's fighting sleep every moment because he's worried about her, honestly. he's exhausted like he had been that night with matt. he could easily be out in seconds. ] I don't think it's ridiculous. [ whatever it is she's feeling that makes her think that. ]

blacksky: (But that's a knee jerk reaction)

[This feels oddly natural to her. Whatever protest she wanted to make about him bossing her around dies in her throat. Her hand settles against his back this time. She kneads the muscles with her fingertips without giving it much conscious thought.] I was thinking it was nice not to be alone.

[It's a whisper into the void, but she knows he'll hear it because for whatever reason he wants to. He's invested the way Karen seems to be. She doesn't know what to make of it yet.]

[ his eyes shut again, eyelashes tickling her skin as he finally starts to give into the wave of exhaustion crashing over his head. max is already snoring on the floor, way ahead of either of them. he smiles at her words, still conscious enough to react to them as his hand travels up over her side and tangles loosely in her hair. ]

You're not alone. [ not as long as he's here, and karen. he knows it isn't a full comfort since any of them could go at any time. but now he's here. tonight, he can promise to be here. he thinks that's enough for both of them now. ]
blacksky: (Cause I think you're so good)

[It's more comfort than she's usually offered. Her eyes flutter shut as she lets herself soak up the warmth of another body. It's only then that Elektra realizes just how tired she really is.] I know. I don't snore.

[She quips before letting the noise from Max and warmth from Frank lull her to sleep.]
