He tried nodding, but stopped quickly. He'd need frequent naps to get his head back on straight, and it would only help with the healing if he got a lot of rest. It would stop him from being too active, too.
Even if he'd meant it partially as an excuse, his eyelids did feel heavy, and he ended up closing them, his breathing going soft and even. His color had returned, and even the bruises were healing. He still looked awful, but he was definitely getting better.
He'd improve dramatically by the next time Chloé saw him.
