“Yeah yeah, I’ll nap later, don’t worry.”

He might just go lay down in Claire’s bed, whether or not he’s tired. At least having his daughter close, watching her sleep, will help calm everything that’s rattling around in his brain.

The hug makes Patrick smile fondly, and while he can’t exactly return it, he pats his arm before moving to the sink to rinse the mugs as Klaus resumes his walk out of the kitchen. At his words about getting the old Allison back, he turns back to Klaus, a small smile of his own pulls at his lips but it’s not very convincing. He isn’t sure anymore if the old Allison is really trapped in there, like how her voice is, and just can’t find her way back anymore or if what happened has flipped everything. It’s probably too early to tell, but the murkiness of it all makes it hard to really even think this could be just temporary.

He doesn’t say that, though. He just nods as if he believes it, and in appreciation for Klaus. In gratefulness for the fact that he’s here, that he’s not fighting him on going to lay down with Allison because at least that feels normal.

“See you in the morning,” he echoes before turning back to finish cleaning up, letting himself get lost in the silence of the house.
