Haru sometimes gets coffee at Tim's, when he happens to feel like it on a random morning, or when he needs to be up long enough to finish out a guiding session with June. This morning it's the first thing.

With care and attention and many Caranoises, the shoulder knots can eventually be banished! What remains is the meltiest Carapuddle that Haru has ever observed. She extends a hand and gives a thumbs up without moving any part of her body.
"ssssssssss goooooooooood....."

She valiantly struggles against her liquid nature to drape herself across his lap so she can stroke the outside his leg very sedately, her breathing making it clear that she's not super far from passing out.

"....weeeeee cooooooouuuuuld", a muffled voice from the blue pile in his lap admits reluctantly.

"You realize I'm going to feel awkward about possibly abusing your backlash if I'm any more emphatic."

!! oh....
She makes a noise of acknowledgement, pulls herself upright and kisses him on the lips, then on the forehead.
"...thanks", she murmurs.

She nuzzles him and follows his lead bathroomward, staying in contact as much as possible.

They can brush their teeth and split up briefly for more private bathroom activities and rejoin in the guest bedroom, Haru having swapped out his jeans for pajama pants.

She's still wearing the clothes that she napped in, so she didn't need to change.
They're not apart for very long, but she's still extremely clingy when she sees him again.
"- hug-sleeping okay?"

"If you didn't have a plan I was going to suggest spooning but hug-style is also fine by me."

She's too tired for words, and will instead wrap around him, her head tucked under his.
She manages to mumble out a "g'dnight" and one last "thnkyou" and then she's out, breathing gently.

Cara sleeps much better than during her nap, though she does wake up once at around 2 am, thirsty and overheated.
She extracts herself and drinks some cold water, crawling back into bed a few minutes later.

She's still sleepy, but she listens for a bit, and the only pattern she can discern is that the words are all nouns (mostly English, some French).
She sighs in delight, petting his hair. He's so good. She feels so lucky to be here, in his arms....
She drifts off before her inner monologue can get any sappier.

In the morning he's awake first and sneaks out of bed to go to the bathroom and then comes back for more guiding of the awakener.

She makes a sad little noise when he leaves, and a happy one when he gets back, wrapping herself around him again, but it's not exactly obvious if she's awake or not.

Eventually, her phone starts buzzing and she reaches for it to silence it, making awakening noises.
"g'morning", she manages after a bit, nuzzling him.
come-hold-my-hand
She glances curiously at the notebook for a moment, then decides she can ask later.
"Really well... I sleep a lot more soundly in someone's arms, and the guiding made it even better", she says, contentment clear in her voice. "How about you?"
