[It's soft and weak, more in line with a sick child than a strong king, but nothing about the past few hours have made Henry feel like he could be strong.]
Please... sleep beside me tonight, Jack. I don't know if I can rest otherwise.
[He's gotten too used to it, really... having someone resting in the same room to protect him. He can feel it at the back of the mind, the knawing nightmares just waiting to come, and right now, he wants more than anything to not be alone when they do.]
