[ it turns out this isn't actually comfortable after all. odin flops around like a fish for a while until he's on his side facing away from archie. then he flops around until he's on his other side, staring at archie. then he flops around until he's on his back, trying to imitate archie. archie looks cool. he at least wants to look cool, if he's going to be uncomfortable. ]

Oh... well. [ no, it's too uncomfortable. he flops until he's face down and his voice is muffled by the matress. ]

I don't want to force him into being kind to me or anything. That's not what I'm trying to say. But I think if he's hurting, I'd like to try and be friends with him so that maybe, in some small, insignificant way, I could ease that. Maybe I can bring some happiness into his life? I don't know. It's hard helping people be happy.
