Despite her very clear body language of go away, Spirit doesn't initially move. He's sure about the lie, but uncertain of the real answer. So instead, he helps pull and tug the blankets till they are well and truly bundling her up. Even when he's done that, he doesn't move.

"If it's all the same to you, I think I might sit for a bit." She's entirely bundled now, and likely can't see the rather solemn expression he wore.

"Gotta let this old man take a break or two from all this running around, you know?" This too is a lie. Even from just the sheet yesterday it's clear that the redhead is fairly strong; to suggest he's weak and tired is some kind of ridiculous.

"Just till you're asleep."
