"Because you're my friend, Faolan. You don't have to be perfect every day to stay my friend."
He lofts an eyebrow at the man, studies him a moment longer before padding back into the kitchen for a bottle water -- setting it beside the futon for him.
"And you'll still be my friend in the morning. Painkillers should be in the cabinet over the bathroom sink if you want to keep some nearby."
That said he paces back into the kitchen to turn out some of the lights, locks the back door and then heads over to make sure the front door is properly closed up.
(And he locks that too, just to make sure Faolan doesn't bolt in the night. He doesn't trust him not to. Faolan is good at running away from his problems.)
Satisfied, he ushers Lily through to his room -- humming to her under his breath as she fusses around his feet.
"Just knock if you need anything," he adds, "I'm only closing the door to keep Lily in."
