it takes him a few seconds to process the implication, which isn't an implication, he realizes. david's not inviting him to fuck (probably). if he was, evan would wave him off, go back to his business. that's normal. that's usual.
but just sleeping? ]
I don't sleep.
[ which he thinks he's told david before, but this time it doesn't come out as a dry comment on his own life or something nasty to suggest he's better. it's almost as surprised as he is. almost like it's the first thing he could grab at in the confusion. ]
