alisaie had not been prepared to host him tonight, so she slides out of bed to clean up, to swipe away any tissues and change the sheets, to scrub her hands and her face but gods even that much seems such an insurmountable task. by the time he's returning she's just sitting at the edge of her bed again in a fresh nightdress, weary and warm and coughing into a handkerchief.
it's horribly frustrating, to be so exhausted by menial tasks that should be simple and easy, but even after spending the entire day in and out of naps just the simple process of straightening up has exhausted her.
still, she has a sweet smile for him when he reappears (and the coughs abate), and she wipes the water from her eyes before she's drawing back into the bed. ]
Welcome back. [ she says around a scratchy voice, clearing her throat. peo hops up onto the blankets near her feet, turning a circle and flopping down comfortably, clearly more than happy to spend the night. ] Peo ate while you were gone, but I'm sure he will not begrudge you a treat.
