[Richard reaches for Isamu's discarded shirt to nudge it over in his friend's direction, then settles back down against the couch, knees drawn up to his chest and his chin resting on them. While the crying did make him feel somewhat better, he still just feels tired and overwhelmed by everything.]
[When Isamu sits down, Richard almost gives in to the instinct to lean the way he usually would, but freezes halfway, suddenly uncertain. Would that make Isamu uncomfortable after that little revelation from earlier?]
[Richard remains stiff for a moment before finally relaxing and leaning his head against Isamu's in turn. He's... not really sure what their relationship is, but he knows that it's more precious to him than almost anything else here in Luceti.]
You're welcome to complain if I end up falling asleep on you.
There's far more to being a knight than just that. One of the most important duties of a Royal Knight is to support the king whenever it may be needed, not just on the battlefield.
[He smiles a little.]
I can't think of many people who are better at that than you are.

Yeah, I figured.

[And Isamu will indeed flop back down next to Richard, completely wrapped up in one.]

[Isamu will take that decision from him, leaning against the blond himself.]

[He shrugs.]
[Action, Feb. 23]
You would make an excellent knight, you know.

Thought I was supposed to be a lord or something.

[Sheer exhaustion is finally winning out and he's starting to nod off, his leaning growing heavier against Isamu.]
[Action, Feb. 23]
[Isamu might have reached an arm around, but it was probably for the best that he'd wrapped himself up completely.]
...I'll drag your ass back tomorrow.
[Action, Feb. 23]
And he's quite comfortable where he is, so good luck moving anywhere for a while, Isamu.]
