[Still, there is a reason he usually wakes before her, and before too long, he jerks into consciousness, whole body tensed for a fight he already knows is not there. But only when he sets his eyes on her does he manage to calm down again, relaxing back into the bed. Truth is, he is not much better off then her when it comes to the signs of aging. A little more then two decades into his life, and the edges of his hair are already shot through with grey, his many and varied scars giving him trouble on a night daily basis. He grows more and more tired over the sweeps and it is only her face highlighted in the sun's last glow that gets him up some nights]
[He gives her a slow, lazy smile before burying his face in his pillow, muffling his voice. He just can't be bothered feeling the urgency of the revolution when he has just woken up like this]
