With no other option left, Alexander pulled the blanket down, took Lina gently by the arm and helped her sit up.
Lina's eyes opened just enough to register his face.
Then they closed again.
She swayed where she sat, looking so exhausted that Alexander had to steady her before she tipped sideways.
"Lina."
"Mmm..."
"Get up."
"I am up."
"You're sitting with your eyes closed."
"I can still be awake with my eyes closed."
Alexander stared at her for a moment.
That was apparently her defence.
He sighed and decided not to argue with someone who was barely conscious.
Lina was far too limp to manage getting dressed properly on her own, so Alexander could only help her through it, handing her clothes over and making sure she did not fall back onto the bed between each step.
By the time she was dressed, she looked slightly more awake, although her expression still suggested that she would happily return to sleep if given even half a chance.
