It's been a long time since he's slept so easily in a foreign place.
But, Rex reflects as he gets up, maybe brain surgery will just do that to you. He lingers a little longer than he should before leaving, get his thoughts together - where are they? what happens next? what is his purpose now that this is done? how can he repay this debt? - and peeling off a corner of the bandage on his head so he can prod at it in the mirror.
Eventually he seals it back down and pads through the ship until he finally finds the other two, and -- little gods, she's half-dressed -- ]
Ah. I didn't mean to interrupt --
[ He's already taking half a step out because he's clearly interrupting something, even if that something is completely unsurprising. ]
