Klaus has lived with them long enough, that quips like that are something he’s used to. Initially he hadn’t been sure how to respond to them, but now he finds himself noting the difference between his usual bounce to things and how his brother-in-law sounds now.
He doesn’t comment on it, though; instead, he offers the mug he had served for himself since he barely poured it.
“You might want to hold off on that proposal, Allison might be upset she missed it,” he jokes before moving to get another mug from the cabinet. He had made a full pot, doubting his ability to go back to sleep, so there’s definitely enough to go around.
At his question, Patrick glances up briefly before he looks down at the coffee as he pours it. He’s not wrong, this isn’t like him at all. Generally it’s Klaus and Allison wandering around at night, sometimes even Claire as if she fears she’s missing out on something and she just wants to be included, but whenever he’s awake at this hour it’s only because he’s getting ready to take a very early flight for a meeting or a business trip. Considering he’s working from home, not willing to leave them just yet, there is definitely no business trip to get ready for right now.
He shrugs, moving to sit on one of the stools at the kitchen island. “Just couldn’t sleep.” It sounds so simple, as if he just couldn’t get comfortable. It sounds better than admitting that seeing Allison as shaken up as she was had rattled him, too. The only reason he’s not still next to her it’s because she’s out cold now thanks to the medication, and he needed to clear his head a little before he could be there.
“After all these years I guess I just wanted to see what I’ve been missing out on,” he continues with a small smile, continuing the banter at least for a moment longer.
He nods towards the fridge. “There’s some pizza in there, too, in case you want some.” He and Claire could only eat so much, after all, without the Hargreeves joining them.
