"I've too many regrets to let you go so easily, Noct," his hand went to the back of his spiky haircut, bracing his head in against him.

His previous bout of exhaustion was starting to take him again. He thought about falling asleep right here, but what if Noct was gone when he woke up? That might be the worst thing he could think of right now. Either way, his strength was sapped. He had little choice in the matter as his body began forcing his exhaustion. His weight began to shift from self support to entirely onto Noct.

"Forgive me, I'm entirely spent," his words came out softly as he tried to straighten back out.
