"You're not ready yet?" Having never experienced grief on this level, Rondo can't quite comprehend, but he can meet Ziggy halfway. "That's okay. But I think your dad needs rest pretty bad, so I'll stay with you here and hopefully he can get some sleep."
Rondo will wear out eventually, too, but right now he's physically comfortable, if still worried. When Ziggy sits up, he reaches out to put hands on his shoulders to support him. "You're gonna get dehydrated too, if you're not careful," he murmurs, but if he's not ready to drink gin, maybe he's not ready to drink water, either.
Switching back to telepathy, he nods and puts one of his hands under Ziggy's chin. "I'm staying. I paid off my dorm-mates to cover for me, so it'll be days before anyone wonders where I went. You want me to be a pillow or stretch out with you? I have snakes in my shirt and I don't want to squish them, but otherwise I'm flexible."
