I'm sure I can find a way around that with the staff. I'm good at negotiating~ [It's hard to keep himself leaning like this when he's still shivering, though, so he flops down again with an exaggeratedly pathetic air a moment or two later.] But if it's been difficult for everyone, then it wouldn't really be fair to ask you to carry me, right? Even if it's pretty tempting.

[Despite his obvious exhaustion, Ren's tone remains upbeat and as unfazed as it can be when the shiver is occasionally creeping its way in there.]
