[Rex is asleep in front of the dying fire in his room. If he were alone he would have fallen asleep inside the large fireplace. It is late in the morning and Rex finally succumbed to a deep rest after hours of singing to the human who followed him home last night. He is curled up on his side with one wing splayed out and it may be a bit difficult

[When Crow wakes up finally, he feels strange. Possibly because he hasn't slept that well in a very long time. He's also a bit disoriented since it takes him a minute to remember where he is. His attention falls on the sleeping phoenix and he suddenly remembers everything from the previous day.

He'd actually followed the Chancellor home. Rex looks pretty out of it, though. Crow's a bit worried. He reaches out and gently shakes the phoenix, concerned.]

"O'ia... y'okay? Didn't pass out, did ya?"

[Rex's wing twitches and he opens one eye. He chirps a short message to Crow and ruffles the boy's hair, his fingertips passing over the healed brand.]

[Crow blinks at the oddly affectionate gesture but quickly breaks into a grin.]

"Ya sleep like th' dead. Pretty wore out, huh? Ya hungry?"

"It was a bit of a long night." [Rex admits quietly, his deep voice rumbling in their close quarters. Rex pulls his wings in and sits up with some difficulty. Crow might notice that the Chancellor was in bed. With him. The mattress with all the pillows is empty and if Crow tests it, he'll find it cool to the touch. Rex has been lying with him for quite some time.]
