This is resting. [With a vague gesture at the bed, as if to point out that he's lying down and not moving, before he rests his hand on Dagny's leg. It's not the same thing exactly, but despite his weariness he doesn't actually feel tired. Too awake to keep his eye closed for long.]
Okay, smartass, but that’s not exactly the rest I had in mind. [Said with so much affection that it’s basically a term of endearment, and also possibly a little sarcasm, but he’s smiling, because it’s a very Isaac thing to say. He also anticipated a little push back about sleeping considering he can barely get Isaac to sleep under normal circumstances.]
[He didn't necessarily expect to get away with that, but it was worth trying. He wrinkles his nose in response, admitting after a second:] I don't know if I can sleep.
[He's visibly relieved when Dagny doesn't push him more on it. It's not like he's trying not to, he's just... messed up, on these kinds of things. Even if his body did want sleep, he's so used to fighting it that it's not even really a conscious thing anymore.]
Not in the room. Not right now. [His eyes sweep around like he's double-checking before settling on Dagny again, offering him a little smile.] Most of them don't stick around hospitals for long anyway.
