[Stahn is incredibly careful, and so he manages to not wake Leon up. The minute movements of his surprise and his moving towards Leon do cause him to shift a little in his sleep, but it's only to curl in towards that source of warmth, thus curling in towards Stahn, head tucked even closer to Stahn's chest.
Definitely things that would never have happened if Leon was awake.
But either way, he is legitimately serene like this. He's curled up in his rest, a stark contrast from the way that he almost tries to overcompensate and take up more space than he actually fills when awake. Rather, when he's asleep like this, when he feels entirely safe, there's no tenseness to be found in it. It's different from the nights on the road, where he would sleep curled up in his cloak but tense, hand eternally near to Chaltier. No, this is the only sort of comfortable sleep that could be obtained by someone who isn't dwelling on worries or stresses or dangers.
For what's probably the first time since this journey started, he really is at peace, and so his only response to Stahn's movements is that slight movement in turn, and then a quiet, contented sigh.

No really, who is this person.]
