[Like much about himself that others might see as a weakness, he found a way to use it to his advantage. She's right that the crow's head at the top of it is one of the rare instances of his sentimentality showing through. It only felt right.]

[He finds her impressively strong for it. Grief can indeed feel like a weight dragging a person under. Kaz doesn't presume to have a perfect balance in handling it yet, but he does know that instinct keeps him from letting himself sink, knowing there's no coming back once the bottom is reached.]
That's a kind offer. I'm not sleepy yet, maybe we can see how it goes later? Unless you're ready to sleep now.
[He's tired, but not yet in a state for slumber. He'll respect if she's wanting to sleep now though, he doesn't mind reading on the sofa instead.]
