Carl didn't hesitate to lay down on the hard ground, being back in the shack made it seem like a reasonable thing to do. He had had to do it many times after the shack collapsed and they were waiting to repair the furniture.
'Never thought I'd say "I missed this", funny how life goes.' Carl thought to himself.
"Creator! Are you okay!?" Suddenly a small child jumped on him, though the weight was certainly not human.
Carl blinked his eyes open, it was Rhea and not far behind him, Gaia. "Yes Rhea, I'm okay... Well not injured at least."
"Rhea, contain yourself darling. Carl, what brings you here with such a heavy heart?"
"I-"
"Before you lie to me, I can sense emotions through the Earth." She smiled, making it clear she was there as a friend.
Carl smiled back then explained the situation, but not before he apologised for what happened during the battle with Dracula.
