Mar's eyes fluttered shortly after Sumara started to move to get up, and in a half-awake daze he rolled over onto his stomach in the place where she used to be, arms reaching out in search of the warm body that had once been there. He finally sat up in earnest when she started quickly packing up her things, intent and eager at starting their day. Still fuzzy-headed, Mar was a lot slower at that, but occasionally paused to look up at her as she worked, a brief smile on his face every so often. It felt like things were getting back to normal, which was a relief after the events of the previous day and their midnight scare.

Though, if Mar was honest with himself, and he wasn't sure he was entirely ready to be that honest... he hadn't minded their sleeping arrangement the night before at all. Coughing to himself and standing up at last, he made quick work packing up but still lagged behind a bit. Sumara reminded him of this and he snorted at her, rolling his eyes, but smirking.

"Alright, alright! Jeez... where do you get this much energy without any kind of caffeine?" he wondered, mostly to himself, jogging to keep up with her as they made the last trek to Petalburg at a steady jog.

Brigson watched the man and Pokemon settling in for sleep together out of the corner of his eye, a brief smile quirking up the corner of his mouth at the sight. He felt a little more organized and level-headed now that he had figured out what was bothering him earlier and had told himself firmly to stay professional. Perhaps it wouldn't be easy, but Brigson would do what he always did and put his work first. With that he mumbled a brief, "sleep well," to Jace and let his eyes slide shut while the sea lulled them gently.
