The first night Henry is back, Finn falls asleep by his door.
When Henry wakes up in the morning, and finds him, he tells him quietly not to worry, he won’t leave in the night.
Finn doesn’t make the same mistake again -- it is easy for him to switch from his restless sleep into one which he wakes from quickly at the first noises from Henry’s room, so that he might sneak back into his own and await a knock.
Once, exhausted from his semi-vigil, Finn falls asleep while still in his room and does not wake for hours. There’s a note under the door saying that Henry is downstairs, and thought it best to let him sleep. Whether he’s realized what Finn has been up to or just thought he was not sleeping well enough, Finn doesn’t know. Whatever it was, there's a flurry of panic before he finds him outside.
He’s keeping an eye out.
