"Do you wanna sleep in my room? I changed the sheets this morning....might be...easier?" She didn't mean for it to be a question at the end but honestly when Len was this upset she knew there wasn't much she could do. Still she would offer her space if it meant he might sleep and he did need sleep after a panic attack.
Even if he winds up in his own room, the one he shares with Mick, she's gonna park her butt on the bed beside him, back to the headboard, a steady and still silent presence. She's gonna stay until hes asleep enough for her to leave without waking him. Or at least until he pretends well enough for her to humor him.
He shakes his head at the question, "No...thanks, though." She's always looking out for him and he can't hate that, even if he isn't into the idea she's presenting. Somehow, it just feels wrong to consider being anywhere else, even if being in the room he shares with Mick might hurt still, too.
He isn't at all surprised when Lisa follows him, quietly insistent on not actually leaving him alone. That may actually be for the best, if he's honest; if she's there, he's not as likely to get caught in the trap of his own head again, and that can never be a bad thing.
"Thanks," he says quietly as he slips back into the room after getting changed into something more comfortable than his usual jeans. She's already sitting there, propped against the headboard like she owns the whole damn bed. "for staying." he finishes softly, sinking down onto the bed in his rightful place.
She nods and smiles at him, doesn't speak because she's pretty sure whatever she says will make him get lost in his own mind again. So she instead lets him get settled before reaching over to turn off the light. Soon only moonlight filters into the room and lets her know he's awake. She would touch him, run her fingers over his head if she knew it would help him. But she knows it would make things worse...she...hasn't been able to do that for him for a long time now. Comfort him....physically at any rate. So she sits there, a silent soldier for however long he needs her to be one.
Leonard drifts in and out of a bit of a daze, but never really falls asleep, too many thoughts rolling through his mind to really let go. But Lisa's presence is enough to keep him a little more aware, not too far in his head.
Lisa waits until Len is mostly out, at least out enough that while he'll notice her leaving the bed he likely won't notice she left the apartment. She's silent as she slips on tennis shoes and a jacket before grabbing her keys and leaving going to look for Mick and hopefully save their relationship.
