"You're... drooping."

Oh, whoops. So she is. "...ah, sorry. Haven't had a chance to nap today, aaand" (she barely stifles a yawn) "I want'd to come see you."

"Well, if you will settle for non-visual contact and it would help you nap, I have still not quite finished the Acts and could read them and hold you."

Oh! She nods excitedly. "The physical contact is more than sufficient." (The nodding maybe was an overexertion! She's drooping again.)

He collects his book and whisks girl and book both into his room where there is a bed.

Venn is not so droopy that she cannot crawl into a bed and make room for a snuggle partner, though her eyes do not remain open the whole time.

They don't have to. He locates a good reading-and-snuggling position and then adopts the role of furniture.

She wraps herself around him happily and sighs in content.

"thaaaaank yoooooou," she murmurs.

"You're welcome." ...boldly, he pets her hair, once.

"mmmmmmmmm," she says, leaning into it.

Amazing! Perhaps he will pet her hair again.

He will get similarly-happy noises!

And also tighter clinging.

Well if he extrapolates forward from that he is not sure how she will ever get to sleep. Maybe he will just let the hand that is not holding his book rest on her head very still so she can drop off properly and not be constantly emitting non-sleep feedback updates.

She nuzzles his chest, but lacking the headpetting stimulus she is out like a light in a few minutes. 

She's a clingy sleeper.

The traditional solution to her sleep problem -

- was not actually described to him as "step 1: Blai Artigas gets ludicrously ahead of himself and formulates delusions" so he shouldn't do that and instead he should read the Acts.

While holding her snugly.

She certainly doesn't seem to be having any trouble sleeping snugly in his arms. 

Good.

He is nearly through the Acts, he's been reading them in dribs and drabs, but if she takes a long nap he can just start again from the beginning and come to know them better.

Then Venn will sleep better than she has in months. 

This he will have no way to know unless she tells him because he has not spent those months accounting for all her sleeping arrangements.

She eventually stirs in the characteristic way of someone about to wake up. 

...he does not know if there are separate cuddling protocols for someone about to wake up so he holds still and waits.

There's an obvious moment when she becomes aware of something that makes her smile and squeeze herself against him. "mmmmmmhi."  

"Hello." ......hairpet.

eeee!

She makes a happy noise about this. 

Wow okay. Pet pet.
