With his body on the floor and his eyes shut closed he couldn't make it anymore obvious that he was half asleep. His thoughts in general were jumbled up and he must have been unintentionally voicing them, a habit that he should probably learn to control and stop. He didn't mean anything terrible by it. It was just a tease, more of an insult to this country rather than Myst himself. Nevertheless he did feel bad, and he was grateful that he didn't call him out on his stupidity.
The harsh tone he carried in that reply did cause the detective to flinch and make him open his eyes. It hurt, but he quickly shrugged it off. He deserved that. "You're right, this country is a lot worse than I expected. But you know it isn't all that bad." He pushes himself off the ground so he was able to sit up. "You are here after all." Usually embarrassment would stop him from saying things like this, but he was much too tired and comfortable to care.
He scoots himself over until he was able to rest his head on the other's shoulder, letting out a tired hum as he does so. "Why don't I leave? Partially because of work and its too early for me to go back, but mostly because you are keeping me here. You're one of the few good things in this dumb town. As if I would leave you behind." He pauses, head tilting so he can get a better look at the other. "...You can come with me, you know."
