[Other Wakers, on finding a Sleeper passed out on the sand--out of the squid but also out of it entirely--would take their title quite literally and shake the poor guy awake.
Illarion, who's in a damned odd mood--who's in a mood at all, for once--merely smiles paternally on noticing that the Sleeper he's (literally) holding the bag for hasn't made it far up the beach. There's something endearing about the whole scene, and damned if he's not going to bask in that unaccustomed emotion while he's capable.
The shrike sets down the bag he's carrying and pulls off the Sleeper robe slung over his shoulder. It's oversized enough he can settle it over the man in the sand as a reasonable blanket with only a little fussing.
Then, he hunkers down on his heels nearby to wait for his new charge to wake up.]
