Larkin was still passed out in the morning when Samul awoke, but had shifted back into a human in his sleep. He didn't generally remember shifting back, which was definitely good considering how painful it was.

Samul looked down when he woke up, holding Larkin close. He moved to sit up and carry the sleeping man to the bedroom, tucking his head into his lover's shoulder. He shivered some in the cool of the morning, ready to wrap them up in some blankets.
Larkin huddled up against Samul in his sleep, looking completely exhausted. It didn't look he was going to wake up for a few more hours at least.
Samul figured, with the night they had before. He hummed some, laying down with Larkin in the bed. He pulled the blankets over them, rubbing his lover's back.
After several hours, Larkin finally started to stir and looked up at Samul blearily when his eyes were open. He was very sore from the previous night, and he still looked pretty drained.
"Hey, sweetie." Samul lightly kissed Larkin's head when he saw his partner waking up, rubbing his cheek with one thumb. "How are you doing..?"
"Mmmmm…" Larkin buried his face in Samul's chest, whining softly. "Soreeee… m'head hurts…" He mumbled.
"Want me to get you some painkillers?" Samul asked, kissing Larkin's head.
Larkin nodded weakly. "Mm… do I have to do anything today…?" He asked, closing his eyes to try and help his head.
"No, I made sure our schedules were cleared," Samul said. He pulled away, standing to get Larkin his water and the pills Samul kept in the room.
"Mmkay…" Larkin watched Samul from the bed, turning his ears back and curling in on himself in Samul's absence.
Samul took the lid off of the pills and pulled one out for Larkin, carrying it and the water back over.
"Here, I'll help you sit up some," he said softly, offering to help Larkin up to lean onto his chest.
Larkin sat up with Samul's help and accepted the pain medication, swallowing it once he was able to. "Mm… did I do anything especially stupid last night?"
"No," Samul assured. "Actually, you were a lot more agile than normal. You managed to catch the rope toy, and all your treats. I'm impressed." Samul smiled, kissing Larkin's head.
Larkin rolled his eyes and smiled tiredly. "Yeah, yeah. I'm not that clumsy, am I?"
"You could be surprised," Samul said. "You usually don't get every single thing." Samul chuckled some, kissing Larkin's head.
Larkin shrugged a bit. "Dunno. Maybe I was particularly alert or something. I don't really remember much…"
"I know, dear." Samul held Larkin for a moment, letting out a breath. "I didn't record anything, either. I figured it'd do us good to just have a relaxing night."
Larkin nodded and huddled closer, nuzzling into the crook of Samul's neck. "I'm exhausted… and my memory's all over the place. Brain's all… screwy…"
"I know, dear…" Samul ran his fingers through Larkin's hair, kissing his head. "We'll take it slow today, okay?"
Larkin hummed in agreement, tangling himself up with Samul. "Mmmmm… I'm starving…" He mumbled tiredly.
"Well, how does leftover sausage gravy sound?" Samul hadn't gotten to go out and buy more meat yet, so it was just that and the candied bacon.
"Mmmm… sounds fine to me." Larkin yawned and held tighter to Samul, humming weakly. "I haven't eaten anything since… like… last night."
"Yes, I rememeber." Samul offered a smile, hugging Larkin. "Here, want to come with me and get it heated up?"
"Yeah, sure…" Larkin reluctantly sat up and rubbed at his eyes, sighing softly.
