'I do' But what was the substance he had taken? He knew his body and organs were weak, but if the substance had been given to someone stronger, what would have happened? Would a 'normal' person had survived, and if so how was he still breathing?<br/><br/>The low protective rumble that sounded from Asa was normally enough to silence everyone in the room, but Carter didn't want to lose their current contact. "Don't do anything. The owner was nice, it wasn't her fault. It was mine... If I hadn't gone, nothing would've happened" he said nodding his head slightly. Actions had consequences. Wasn't that a quote Asa had been attempting to drill into his head? Tonight had hammered the nail on the head and he could finally see why Asa was so worried about big scary world. He understood, it was a shame it had almost cost him his life, but at least he wouldn't be frighting to get outside anymore.<br/><br/>"Tomorrow? B-but I'm not sleepy" he grumbled trying to tighten his arms around Asa's arms to hold him in place. He didn't know why he even attempted, there was no way his puny muscles had any hope in holding even a cat in place and before he knew it, he'd lost contact. The warmth quickly left him and a pout instantly set on his face until Asa told him where he'd be spending the night. Was he being serious?! Joy. It started within his chest and quickly spread through his frame. "Here?" his voice was tired, but he couldn't hide his happyiness and had no problems or complaints when Asa started to remove his shirt. The removal of each item of clothing was done so carefully. It seemed like Asa was trying to undress a delicate flower without harming the petals. He wished he wasn't so worried and gentle all the time. "I'd rather you joined me... Will you be back when I wake?" he knew the answer would more than likely be No, but he wanted to at least hear it from Asa's lips as he slipped under the covers. The night had filled him with more questions than answers, what was happening tomorrow? He wanted to reach out and grab Asa to beg him to stay, but all his energy seemed to have left him and his eyes began to feel heavy. "Hmm... okay. Until tomorrow then" he said shifting to lay on the side that held Asa's scent so he could cuddle the pillow close to his chest. Before he knew it, his body fell into a much needed sleep until Nancy came into the room with a tray of breakfast and some neatly folded clothes for the day.<br/><br/>Carter remained asleep until the noise of the tray being laid down made him open an eye and look up to see who was working. Seeing Nancy brought a weak smile to his face and he slowly shifted to prop himself up. "Morning" he groaned, stretching out his limbs under the blankets with a small sigh. "Do I need to move? What's the time anyway?" he asked as she handed him two pills Asa had made for him. He couldn't remember a day where he didn't need to take something, but they were always fast acting and Carter wasn't complaining. He happily took them and drank some coffee to wash them down.<br/><br/>"It's Eleven... we decided to let you sleep. You gave everyone a heart attack yesterday..." she said scanning Carter's expression and body posture for any signs of discomfort. He could feel her gaze digging into him and took another sip of coffee before he motioned for the pile of clothes. "Stop worrying. "Asa was a wizard in his past life. I'm fine. I can't dress with you in the room and you'll probably get scolded for allowing me to sleep in. I'll be down in a few" he said taking the pile. She was hesitant, but she left which gave him time to shower , dress and start hunting around the room while he went back and forth to his breakfast. There were far to many places to hide things within the room and Asa had heaps of journal looking diary's, so Carter simply took the small ones that were small enough for him to hide in his bedroom as he left to go down stairs to greet everyone. He was hoping at least one of them would give him some light on everything.
