A bandaid is better than leaving the wound open, dude, you know this. Figuratively. Don't literally wound yourself. Anyway my point is it will help until we figure out a new solution and I don't mind if we camp out together. To try it.
Not always. [ quietly. ] It's not like I can just call you up every time I want to actually sleep if it does work. So we can camp out if it helps you tonight, but I kinda have to figure out something else long term, and maybe short term.
["Why not" is his first thought since as far as he's concerned he'll do anything for his friends, but rationally speaking Dave's right. They can't keep doing that.]
Camping out isn't a bad idea. Any idea what will help you though?
[ he used to just pester his friends when he couldn't sleep, awake or not, or browse the net or listen to music or...whatever.
he can't do that here.
there's no real way to get someone to watch his back when he sleeps, either. so it's just a matter of catnapping at random and letting john think it's fixed. ]
I'll be fine as soon as the furniture stops talking.
Yeah, it'll be fine. [ or he will just...conceal that he sleeps sporadically, which isn't too huge a deal and is anyway harder to track when he doesn't and can't just leave john a million messages from another timezone. ] We probably should head back and get to cleaning, I guess?
...Yeah, sure. [ he doesn't have any inclination to say "no" to a request to spend time with john. ] I'll even walk you home when it's bedtime, if you want.
What a gentleman. [He rolls his eyes.] We can worry about that part later. Right now let's just figure out what building to tackle next and go from there.
