[She smiles down at him fondly, glad that he can't see the way that sadness flickers through her gaze again. It's not as if she's bottling anything up—they have talked plenty and she's said everything that she wanted to say, but there are still times when she looks at him and feels... sad for him. Sad that he had to go through all of that, and that she knows beneath all the smiles and the laughter they shared today in an attempt to heal their hearts, there is still pain.
Try as she might to whisk it all away in a single night, she knows that she can't, and it's a hard pill to swallow, but one that she does, nonetheless.
Her fingers continue to gently run over his ears, brushing and squeezing in all the ways that she knows he likes to help relax him and ease him into a slumber that she prays will be a good one. They both need the sleep—the naps throughout the day were helpful but not nearly enough, but he's the one who needs it most...]
Yeah. I think so. I feel... relaxed.
[Well, as relaxed as she can be right now. She sighs as she presses a kiss to the top of his head.]
That bath was nice.
[Good for them, honestly. Her muscles were sore and she felt a headache coming on, but the heat and the lavender-scented steam did wonders to help both that even Eustace will be able to feel her body sinking into the mattress.]

But don't worry about me...
