Zelos heard Phoenix's breathing changing to that of sleep, slow and rhythmic. "Hey," he said, his voice soft but not quite a whisper, shaking Phoenix's shoulder slightly. Receiving no response, he rolled his eyes and smiled again.

He reached for the remote, turning off the TV. After all, there was no point in wasting energy when he and Phoenix weren't even paying attention to it. He had payed a minuscule amount of attention to it initially, but had ignored it entirely since the fight scene had ended.

And he sat there, perfectly content to just watch Phoenix sleep.
