[He wishes he could just fall asleep with her as she presses her head to his, but he's not allowed to sleep- Childe only laughs at Ajax as he lies there, happy and content, nudging him awake. His eyes open fully now, though still they are still lined with sleep, now finally putting two and two together. It was her counterpart, having taken control while she slept. His brain can barely comprehend that, staring back dumbly at her for a moment.]

Lumine...

[As he wakes up, his eyes widen. Oh, Lumine will be pissed if she finds out that she'd lost control of her body while she was asleep, and Ajax immediately closes his mouth to keep himself from being loud in case even a pin drop would ruin this.]

He is awake, [Ajax whispers, searching her face for any signs of his Lumine waking up.] One moment.

[He has no idea how much time this will allow the two of them to talk again, but he won't waste another moment of it. Ajax is finding the swap easier and easier every time he does it, his eyes only blinking once before she stares back into Childe's, eyes still looking hurt but the anger has dissipated from them.

The Harbinger couldn't care less if Lumine wakes, letting his hand snake to the back of her head as he presses his mouth to hers for a kiss, deep but brief, before breaking. Despite their argument earlier, it feels like a breath of fresh air to him.]

How surreptitious of you, comrade. It really is a pity that you never joined the Fatui.
