Joe was out cold, he had been since shortly after Nicky had finally slipped off to actual sleep instead of the light doze that tended to plague all of them.
The sound of the door opening and the voices weren't even enough to wake him, mostly because even deeply unconscious he knew they were safe here, and if that weren't the case, he'd have had far more warning. It was enough to draw him a little closer to wakefulness, but not enough to actually wake him, which was why he only grumbled and shifted over at Nicky's urging.
One arm was still folded under the pillow under his head, but he reached out with the other to tug Nicky -or, really whichever body happened to be closest- back in to where he could give his impression of an octopus again.
