[Looking over, and looking down, at his brother's bowed head makes Sasuke wonder what the Itachi he knew would have done in his place, faced with hesitation and this kind of situation. Taken charge, probably, found more information and hunted for a way to turn things to his advantage if not toward his own survival. Itachi was capable in a way Sasuke never was, doesn't know if he ever will be, and the part of him that had burst forth at the end (but you're perfect) hadn't lied.
This Itachi is young, though, hurts fresh, world turned upside-down. Sasuke has no experience taking care of others in any but the most detached way as the leader of a team, but this is his brother.
He lifts the two thickest blankets off the pile before turning to Itachi again, holding out two corners for him.]
I need your help to get all the blankets in place.
