Dr. McCoy doesn't seem to phase Gray much, which is more due to the fact that he's used to other species that don't conform to the human norm rather than due to his now catatonic tendencies.
"My fault, Dr. McCoy," Jackson says with a small little smile. "I'll get some rest now."
Sensing that it's time to go and unsure if he'll get another opportunity, Gray finally steps closer and reaches out to place a hand on Jackson's shoulder. It's a testament to his dedication to this that the other man doesn't shrink away from the touch. When Gray leans closer, it's only to apologize for everything and that's something Jackson can easily forgive him for.
After that, well, Gray will certainly go with Emma wherever she bids. And Jackson to settle back down against the pillows, more than willing to go horizontal even if he's too uncertain about what just happened to sleep. He has to wonder if that was good. If he did okay.
