[Eren can see her fading before her head hits the pillow. Idly, he's glad he put it there. It doesn't concern him all that much that she's passed out; she's lost a lot of blood, and with a wound like that, what she'll need more than anything is rest. It seems they've found a safe place for it too. The only strange part is that they're still here, and the illusion isn't fading.
[This universe isn't done with them yet. As Eren's mind fully numbs again, he can't help but get the impression that something bigger than the both of them is pulling the strings.
[He doesn't like that at all. Two birds in the same cage. He's so fucking tired of cages.
[To ensure Aubrey is only sleeping, he checks her pulse for a steady beat - there. He checks her forehead for excessive heat - not there. He pulls a nearby cover up over her to her shoulders, to prevent any shock, should it settle in late.
[Once it's all done, he's tired. Leftover memories keep his body lightly trembling - shaky, like when you haven't eaten for too long.
[He needs to rest. He just wants to rest...
[He moves a couple of feet away from Aubrey. His body feels like lead. He means to make it to one of the bunks, but ends up lying on his side instead of standing up - something he only does when he's too exhausted to lie rigid on his back. Even when he sleeps, he doesn't relax, but this exhaustion feels like a brick wall to the face - as if he were attacked, not Aubrey. When's the last time a transformation took this much out of him?
[Yanking a blanket around his shoulders, he closes his eyes, and falls instantly into black sleep.
[Hours pass. The barracks of their combined consciousness remains.
[Sleeping like this - so deeply - leaves Eren's face mild and at ease. It doesn't at all seem to fit his features; almost as if he were another person entirely.]
