[ By the end of the movie, Drake's starting to feel pretty tired himself. Their empty plates sit on the coffee table in front of them and he thinks he should get up and wash the dishes and head out... watching something together and commenting on this or that scene had felt so familiar that a few times he was almost able to forget what a mess things were, or that he wasn't where he was meant to be. Almost. Not quite.
He stands and stretches, then reaches down to grab the plates. ]
You ready to pass out again? You should probably catch up.
[ The movie plays. Ephemera tries to pay attention, just for something to take his mind off the moment, but it only halfway works and he finds himself drifting off in places. But he makes himself eat, and he manages to stay awake until the credits roll, shaking himself a little when Drake speaks. ]
...yeah.
[ Strangely enough, Ephemera thinks he'll probably crash just fine. Go out cold. He's been running too long without any sleep. It's not sustainable like this, without a fight. ]
[ The kitchen is in the same space as the living area, so Drake takes the plates to the sink while he speaks. It's a little easier to say this not looking at Ephemera anyway. ]
[ Ephemera stays where he is for the moment, running a hand through his hair. Trying to force his head to stay on track for more than a few seconds. It's hard to think. He's tired and he's close to numb and the two feel very similar. ]
....I'll remember.
[ It's said quietly. He's tempted to ask Drake to stay, but that isn't fair. That isn't fair after all that he's already done. Ephemera shakes himself. ]

You don't...I'll handle the rest.
