[thekingsgambit]

[In one of the hospital beds, a confused ex-emperor is gradually coming to, blinking amid the poor lighting and grasping his side as he tries to sit up a little too fast. The skin around one underside of his jaw appears slightly swollen and darker than usual. Other than that, the only thing that stands out is the strained look of thought on his face as he tries to sort through the afternoon's events.]

Perhaps. Proper rest is essential to accelerating any recovery, particularly regarding fractures.

... You do not have to stay during.

[emocalypse.livejournal.com]

I'll stay.

I should have known...

[Manages to secure a pillow and plop it down near Kamui, as his eyes fall closed, too tired to argue him down and well aware that his latest dreams will afford nothing close to the rest he previously mentioned.]

[will continue his silent vigil as long as Lelouch stays asleep]
