There is the lag of wakefulness, the one that comes in after you've slept more than you normally have. As Alex normally sleeps in four hour shifts, the amount of time slept could really have been anything. He's laying against Neil, he knows that much, head on the kid's chest like a child. He groans a little, lifting his left arm to check his Pimp-Boy. Which tells him he's been unconscious for ten hours.

Alex groans again, rubbing his face against Neil's bare chest.
