[Is there a point to lying here? But admitting the truth is giving vulnerability out, and he hates that, so he'll go with the truth in a lighter tone.]

Naturally, you have met me, haven't you?

Even if you did, I'm afraid that I've proven myself rather incapable of taking advice.

[He sounds half amused.]

But I may have some advice for you. Sleep now, while you have the opportunity, you'll be grateful of the extra strength later.

Nice thought, but I'm not much for sleeping these days.

[Still, he lets his head rest back against the wall. It's not the worst idea. It feels like the worst idea because so much in him is screaming that he needs to stay ready, stay present, stay prepared...but there's nothing to be done in the interim. If he could sleep, now would be the time. Meditation, perhaps. He could probably do that much.]
