He lies on his side, not because he feels sick but because back in the day he chastised Orc often enough about not laying on his back when drunk. He gets up on his elbow to drink some of the water she brought him.

"I wasn't planning on drinking, I swear, I just was going to check it out and come home, but there was this guy there and he said I had a nice face even though I'm missing teeth and my nose is all crooked and he kept buying me drinks and you know what it's like when people put stuff to drink right in front of me..."

He hiccups and drinks a little more water. In his drunken rambling he didn't bother to hide pronouns, and he doesn't even notice. He strokes his fingers over the wet cloth, looking over her face as if trying to confirm that she isn't angry at him. He'll feel terrible knowing he disappointed her.
