[ 'Fiercely overprotective' is his conclusion, although their latest bout of sniping had revealed some interesting internal conflict from Jon. He tucks the device back into his pocket and rubs at his eyes. ]
Nothing, [ he tells her stiffly. ] I was managing my sleep well enough, despite what you think. Mayhap I would have adjusted it a little given how easily your spell affected me, sought other's opinions on the matter quietly, but nothing more.
[ If nothing can be done then nothing can be done. There is no use wringing one's hands over it. It IS his own error and he must bear the consequence of it. ]
When is your friend arriving? If it is not for a while then there are tasks I have to attend to.
[ She repeats, before standing and smoothing her skirt. ]
Far be it for me to judge how you handle a problem, but in my tribe, when a problem shows up, we work hard to fix it. Though, I'll be honest... I actually didn't expect to find someone who would offer help. My plan was to just investigate and make sure you didn't topple over like you did again. I suppose it just struck Lilith personally somehow... so you're lucky, Emmy!
[ She smiles and pushes her hands together, ears lifting with an eager flick. ]
Just think, if it does work, you'll be able to sleep properly again. And Lilith's arriving in... ten ticks from now, so freshen up a little.
[ There's a sink for the flowers and by the outdoor barbecue and kitchen area. She's not a defeatist, that's for sure. ]
You are skipping work today. Think you've had enough excitement already for a sun, aye? Go meet someone you actually like after this, take your mind off things. Then come back refreshed!
[ Normal, healthy things!! She isn't counting herself in it, Menphina knows he's seen enough of her today. She pauses to look over at the star plushie, before smiling a bit and picking it up. ]
This little thing's pretty resilient. You can have it if you want. Or I'll keep it here if you ever want to come back and rest your eyes sometime.
[ She may as well extend the offer to someone who needs it more. ]
I'm going to check my potion storage to see if I can find something else to help you after and grab some tea. Want anything?
[ Even with how long she's been up, there's never a complaint from her doing this. But, that's what Matriarchs do. And in any case... ah, sentiment. ]

[ He puts the plush toy back amongst its fellows. Nice as it is, he is not that attached to the thing. He waves her off.
There is little else to say that won't be more sniping about her damned need to interfere in matters not her own. So he opts not to say it at all. ]
