[ He's so tired. He should just go back to sleep. There's no reason to...
And Royce jolts, awake, as he remembers. He remembers - he cut Alfie, he hurt Karkat, and he accepted a job from House. He was fresh from Manzant. He put up a post that made him look like an idiot, he's sure. Fuck, but that isn't that most important thing. The most important thing is Alfie.
Royce pulls himself up, shivering violently as he crosses the room to where Alfie's sitting, circles under his eyes more like bruises than anything. He can't remember any of them, but he's reasonably sure he had nightmares for the time he slept. The feeling lingers as he drops down in front of Alfie, reaching for his arm to look it over. ]
