[Lacus smiles as brightly as she can with one side of her face bruised and swollen. It's sweet and kind that he'd offer to stay even though he has his own issues with staying in her bed. One day she'll find a way to make this up to him, no matter what sort of animal she has to act like.] Thank you, Sougo.
[Lacus shifts so her head is mostly resting on the pillow, only her temple lightly pressed against his shoulder, so he'll be comfortable. Still holding his hand, she promptly falls back asleep. There's a lot of healing to do, yet.]
