[OOC: 100%, Matt needs to eat the noodles and be all, "This is GREAT!" then as he's eating get his powers back and being all, "OMG SODIUM."]
Matt gave a soft laugh as Lucky tried to snuggle up to him. The dog knew how to make him feel better, as did Kate. "Easy, buddy. I know. I love you, too." He pushed himself to a fully upright position, rubbing his eyes to wipe away the last of the sleep crust. He was glad that Kate played along with him in what he'd said. He hoped she even believed it. He leaned into her when she sat near him, his thumb lightly brushing against her hand that he held. "Yeah. Just more time." It had to be that.
His head tilted as he listened to her reassure him that she was fine, his shoulders relaxing and his head nodding as he accepted it. Even now he still cared more about her than himself. "I had to make sure," he told her with a little shoulder bump. "After all, you've put up with me all day. That would be enough to drive anyone crazy." Not just putting up with him, helping take care of him. She'd already done so much. It was sweet, and he knew that she didn't mind, but he wanted to do something to show his appreciation for it. In a more serious voice he added, "Well, it was a late night for all of us. And I know it's been stressful. I'm glad you got some sleep. Hope there were some nice dreams to go along with it."
At the offering of water his bladder balked, but he heard how croaky his voice was, so he didn't protest. He took the glass with a nod, slowly sipping it down. His voice sounded clearer the more he drank. "You up for the incredibly healthy lunch - dinner? - of noodles and pizza rolls?" At the very word pizza Lucky began to bark, making Matt snort. He slowly got to his feet, water glass in hand, reaching out his other hand for Kate. "I think Lucky is telling us it's time."
