Getting settled becomes a series of tasks, just sort of blindly followed with little thought behind it, which is in itself almost comforting. The space is limited, but the man with him might be overthinking it, as much as one can when they are half awake. It's not unusual that he thinks this way: he is not a small man.
As it is, in the moments it takes for both of them to be gone, where they end up is where they remain, almost motionless until well after the dawn. Enver remains close despite the knowledge of what Kael is, or was, and it is a testament to what he believes he understands of the man that he would be willing to be not only unconscious in his presence, but in contact with him.
When slowly consciousness begins to climb its way back into his body, he feels no aches from the rougher surface, or from sharing that space. Memory returns before panic at his surroundings has a chance to set in. There is still this hum of anxiety eventually, because new -- uncertainty -- no plans. But his eyes are open and he's sitting up, and he's there.

It might be a dream.
