[He stirs at that, blinking a few times before his brain catches up with what's being asked of him. Right, bedtime. He's gotta actually get up and move over there.
He gets to his feet, and he's a little wobbly but he's holding himself up.]
So I'm willing to try this... [He cuts off with a yawn and wobbles again.] But no promises I won't wake up yelling my head off again.
[He gives the tiniest movement of his hand to indicate he heard and understand. Now that he's actually in the (allegedly enchanted!) bed, he's going down fast. There will be no more intelligent words from him until morning.
A morning he, blessedly, makes it to without waking up again.]
[When Leo gets up the next day, he'll find his school things packed neatly in his backpack and breakfast on the table. Huvrye has found a pizza place that delivers something called Breakfast Pizza - evidently a pizza topped with scrambled eggs and bacon - and ordered some for them both. It's a gentle followup for what had been a rough night, and hopefully it'll help Leo ease into the day.]

That's why I want you here. You shouldn't have to deal with that alone.
[It's gentle and sincere. He has to deal with his nightmares on his own; Leo shouldn't have to go through that. Not if he can prevent it.]

Another part of him is just glad he doesn't have to, at least for tonight.]
...Thanks, Huvrye. You're a good guy.
[He means it. So saying he's going to flop on the bed, snuggling up on the pillow.]

Sleep well. I'll be here if you need me.
