“Gil~” Oz whispered and nudged his valet gently. The sun was starting to go down over the trees. Alice was off chasing crickets ahead of him. Its a good thing she wasn’t here or she probably would have jumped on Gil’s lap to wake him up. Oz sat back with a smile. “I wanted to let you sleep some more, but it’s getting late.” He poked Gilbert’s cheek with a slight pout. “You need to take it easy. You’re working way too hard lately, you know?”

(hewwo, it is i, toh)

Admittedly, sleeping beneath a tree wasn't Gilbert's ideal resting spot when it came down to an unsuspecting powernap but it was necessary given the fact he'd been operating on possibly only three hours of sleep.

There's no good reason for it aside from the excuse that he's quite the busy body, despite himself. Spite and caffeine. Paired with anxiety, that's another beast that liked to rear its ugly head at him from time to time. A bad habit, Oz calls it. Gil won't take that from someone who would gladly gorge himself on a strictly pastry diet if it weren't for said valet.

Slowly sitting up with his joints snapping in protest — Gilbert does his best to blink away the drowsy spell from tired eyes. Then of course, there's Oz, smiling brighter than the sun that was mostly set behind him which is almost insulting considering the fact that he's here because of Oz who insisted they went outside to watch the sunset (what even happened to that? He remembers Oz and Alice running off not too long after they'd come outside, he just didn't have the energy to keep up with them. Suppose the fresh air did him some good. Suppose Oz also knew what he was doing.).

"The sun has already set? How long ..." So much for them watching the sunset. Squinting into the near distance, he can make out Alice doing god-knows-what. Face contorts into a light frown as he's poked but he doesn't pull away, only a lighthearted swat at his hand and a light, mildly amused snort. "Thanks. Maybe if I got an extra ten minutes in, I'd be a lot stiffer." He can't help but smile when Oz laughs, shaking his head he starts to stand. His back — "Is that so? You make it sound too easy."
