"I think so," Glacius replies, more than happy to hear his partner suggest he might try to shut his eyes. That had been the reason he'd climbed into the tub in the first place: to soothe Carlisle's worries and hopefully allow him to rest, so the alien is surprised and glad both that he doesn't have to do any more convincing in that regard.
To really drive the point home that it's okay for his partner to relax, Glacius does the same, leaning back against the walls of the tub and closing his eyes. He, however, does not plan to sleep; he only waits until Carlisle seems to have drifted off before he cracks one eye open to check for himself. Confirming that the human is out for the moment, the marshal opens the other and then rises carefully from the tub to gather his partner up carefully in his arms and tote him out into the living room.
If Carlisle happens to wake up in the process, that is fine; if not, then the otherworldly being is happy to sit on the couch with his partner bundled in his lap for as long as he needs. Either way, Glacius figures that it will be much nicer than dozing on the floor of the bathroom... and he's glad to see Carlisle actually getting some sleep. The alien knows that after the way the clergyman kept that worried vigil for so long, he likely needs it. He's had some experience with those himself, and he knows the way they tend to run you ragged... he feels lucky and touched that he has a partner that will put himself through that just to look out for him, but also concerned. He must help however he can.
