"At least you kept yourself busy," Krem assumed, holding onto the hand still resting in his and stroking his thumb across Cole's. "You're welcome to come up whenever you like, whether I'm here or not though. If you need a quiet place or something it's good for that."
There was an overwhelming urge to just pull Cole against him and go back to sleep using the other as something of a comfort object, but if there was one thing Krem was very good at, it was not acting on his whims. Instead, he brought Cole's hand to his lips and kissed the back of it before letting it go and standing to find himself a tunic. As he did so, he finally straightened his back, and it was made obvious what the change was, as his first act was not to find his compression vest, but to simply pull on a light, thin cotton tunic that hung on him loosely, a comfortable garment he'd rarely ever worn before now.
"Come on, let's see if they have any leftover bread," he suggested as he turned toward the door, his hand held back out to take Cole's again.
