[It's a good joke, one that makes Don chuckle even as he slumps into a state of somewhat-sleep in his seat. It doesn't last very long - and mostly does more harm than good - but he's grateful for being able to shut his eyes, even if only for what seems like a few moments.]
Mm. [He's sluggish to get up, but at least he doesn't drop Sean. He shuffles along after Loki, doing his best to remain upright and walk in as straight a line as possible. He bumps into his friend's side more than once, and he's nearly snoring once he hits the backseat of the rideshare.
A total mess, but at least he manages to get home in one piece and get both his boys to bed.]
I think I need to start chugging water and aspirin now. Before I sleep for a whole week. [Was he already checking cabinets? Yes. This is his way of asking for help. Please help, Loki.]
Just a moment. [ He called back, but not too loudly as to not bother the boys. Once Fenrir was back inside, he walked over to the cabinet to pull down some aspirin.
Holding it to Don after loosening the cap for him, he moved then to the fridge and pulled out a container of water and a cup, some ice added before it was placed before Don.
Leaving against the counter, he offered a playful smile. ] No, you'll sleep to tomorrow afternoon, then you'll wake up with a hangover and from there, I will take care of you for once.
[Don's stubborn but also very sleepy so he'll keep up the fruitless search until Loki hand delivers the bottle of pills to him directly. Mumbling a sheepish thanks he swallows two and then washes them down with water. It's way too cold and makes his teeth chatter and he nearly laughs about it.]
Is that a promise? [He gives Loki a rather pointed look, holding the silence for dramatic effect before taking another sip of water.]
[He looks from Loki's face to the proffered arm and there's a moment's delay before he accepts it. He probably doesn't need it - he's a bit more "awake" (if you could even say that) thanks to the cold weather and the equally cold water - but he accepts it regardless. Giving Loki the slightest squeeze.]
