"Mm. I know from experience he's quite daunting. And very resolute in his duties."
Mouth curling higher, Anduin lets out a small breath to relax once more. He knows he's his own worst enemy when it comes to this sort of thing. He shouldn't make it any harder for Jacob than it ought to be.
Perhaps just a few moments to drift, then. Safe in his arms. That would be enough.
Jacob isn't about to agree with that- he's not daunting, he's not frightening, but he does try and give the impression that starting something with him is more hassle than it's worth. Still, he knows it's a compliment, and so he doesn't argue.
Neither does he speak again, knowing that he's likely to make Anduin stir again, and he wants him to get some real rest. So he'll just stay there, stroking his hair with one hand, his other hand entwined with Anduin's own.
They don't need anything else, and for a moment, they both could do with the peace and the quiet.
