[ help! yves laughs and lifts himself up just enough so that he can see claude's expression easier ]

It's awkward, and he isn't sure how to respond... ]
... Thanks, Yves.

You could always try to get some sleep for real. I can wake you in a while.
no subject
That said, a nap... ]
I wouldn't be opposed to dozing off.

Then go ahead and rest. I'll wake you later so we can go back to the mansion.
