Eric looks over at the small device before shuffling across the floor to retrieve it. As far as he's concerned, other people besides Godric can fuck off for the time being. But, that's the exhaustion and hunger that's got him thinking like that and he keeps quiet.
He needs a few days before he can face the barge again. Maybe even a bit longer than that.
Godric leads him silently back to his cabin, opening the door and picking up the little black kitten before she runs out.
"Get something to drink from the cabinets or the icebox," he tells him, placing little Freyja on the couch. "And then come and sleep." It's still early, but Godric wants to know that he will be somewhere safe. Somewhere comfortable. The guest room is open, but Godric's room is, too. Eric can choose where he'd like to stay.
He's uncharacteristically slow and beyond weak but he manages to keep up until they get down to the eighth floor and Godric's cabin. Once he's had enough, he'll crawl into his maker's bed and work on getting some sleep -- something he still feels anxious about doing. He knows it's silly, given he's there and not alone. But there's still that worry that his mind will convince him otherwise.
Eric gets into bed and much like he did when he was a younger vampire and desired to be protected, he scoots in close and watches the flicker of candlelight dance across Godric's face until his eyes blink shut and he falls asleep.
