I'll take you up on that one. I think you're right.

[ Bariyan stretches, arms, legs, rolls his shoulders. Then he stands up, and offers his hand to Koltira. ]

You, however, need a place to sleep. Come with me?

[brightdawn]

[Ordinarily, he would have waved Bariyan off, as he still doesn't want to impose on anyone. But exhaustion has come upon him like a wave, and so he just nods blearily and acquiesces, taking the offered hand.]

Yes ... all right.

[blacklord]

[ Bariyan closes his fingers around Koltira's hand. His grip is strong, firm, and he uses it to pull Koltira up to his feet. ]

I'll take you back to my room. It'll be warm in there, too. Come along, now.

[ He takes a step back, still holding on to Koltira's hand. ]

[brightdawn]

Your room ...?

[He's pulled along, walking slowly after Bariyan down the street. He realizes that he hasn't had a full night's rest in several days, and it's catching up to him.]

Bariyan, I won't -- [yawns.] -- won't take your bed from you, all right? The floor will do.

[blacklord]

If you insist.

[ Bariyan sighs, letting go of Koltira's hand once he's ascertained that the other man can walk on his own. It takes him a bit to figure out how to get back to the apartments; he's still very new to the city, and the search for Koltira earlier had gotten him lost.

But he manages it, in time-- feeling bad about how long it'd taken him, hurrying them up the steps to the room which was apparently his. Once inside, he guides Koltira towards his room. And towards the bed. ]

There. Yours.

[brightdawn]

[By that time, Koltira is incredibly tired. He protests feebly as he's drawn toward to the bed, but once he's within range of it, he just about collapses.

He sighs, closing his eyes, already drifting off.]

Thank you ...

[blacklord]

[ A little bit charmed, Bariyan smiles and reaches out, gently freeing the covers from Koltira's weight to pull over the other man -- but he hesitates, realizing that Koltira's armor is still on. Still, Koltira already looks like he's more than halfway to falling asleep....

Bariyan moves himself over to the other side of the bed, leaning over Koltira to briefly look his armor over before taking hands to it, fumbling as latches come undone and plate slips off. He doesn't want to disturb Koltira too much, so some of the armor stays on -- a pauldron, a vambrace, a few other various pieces -- but the rest he places in a neat pile by the bed. Only then does he allow himself to pull the covers up and over Koltira's sleeping form.

When that's done, Bariyan carefully picks the plumeria out of Koltira's hair, and sets it down on the nightstand.

He steps back with a sigh, blinking, observing Koltira for a moment before smiling to himself again and stepping out of the room. He closes the door behind him; he'll take the couch tonight, he supposes. ]
