[function]

[ It's a mumble that escapes him first, something that sounds like "I'm awake" but is too muffled in the sheets that it's hard to pick out certain words. He's exhausted, but he's hanging in there, tilting his head back to clear his mouth and wish the room weren't so red. ]

[ He's glad there was an exit so close. He's glad Shirasu didn't just leave him down there in the cold and the dark and his demons. ]
