It took him a moment to realise where he was, and then he relaxed, sighing gently. "'Morning," he murmured, closing his eyes for a second to enjoy the simple pleasure of being so close to Yukimura.

"Bad dream," he said. His wings shifted behind him, stretching a little. He grimaced a little, trying to recall what was in it. "I don't remember all of it but I woke up just before I died."
