His voice was quiet, but already he felt marginally better. The slight shakiness in his frame settled under Albert's warmth and some of the fear finally abated, despite the dark and the quiet.

"Al...what you said about the books and the music player...I'd like that."

Even if he couldn't listen to it while Albert was gone, having something distracting while the German was there would be nice too. He was going to say something about finding something to alleviate the silence while his partner was gone, but another thought occurred to him.

"Hey...promise me you'll actually get some sleep and not drive yourself into the ground trying to protect me."
