Done with the housework, he's been hiding under the blanket on the futon for the past few minutes. If Jade isn't even there, he's not abusing his safe space in any way, he figures. He's tried taking a nap, but given up on that quickly. There's no position that is truly comfortable and he's slept well during the night, so he's not really tired.

He flinches when he hears footsteps. Should he get up to greet Jade? Probably. It would be the polite thing to do. He stays in bed, as if rooted to the ground.
