[She only glances away for a few more seconds; then it's back to familiar briskness, friendly and fond but not quite so laden with emotion.]

Do you want me to make up the couch for you, or stick with blankets and a pillow?

[kittycaterer]

[ Yeah, that silence is kind of needed. Neither of them are the best at this, but at least they make a conscious effort. Eventually, he loosens up. ]

Blanket and pillow is fine.

[originallutece]

All right.

[She stands and gestures until he hands over his mug. Setting them in the sink (she'll deal with cleaning them tomorrow), Rosalind yawns as she heads into her bedroom. A bit of rummaging, and soon she returns with a pillow from her bed and a thin summer blanket.]

I'll be up at around eight tomorrow, if you want breakfast.

[A beat. She realizes to whom she's speaking and adds:]

I'll do my best to be quiet, but if you're not up by nine, I'll be waking you up.

[kittycaterer]

[ Noctis accepts the blanket and pillow, standing up to set them down properly. He puts his hands on his hips while Rosalind tells him about what time she'll be up.

And yeah, way too early for his tastes. But he understands that he doesn't really have the choice of sleeping in when he's at someone else's house. He shrugs his shoulder casually. ]

Feel free to wake me up at 8. My eyes'll be half-closed, but I can help.

[ And, a beat: ]

G'night, Miss Lutece.

[ Yeah, yeah, it's Doctor now. But since they were on the subject of when he was a kid, it seemed to match the tone of their conversation. Noctis smiles genuinely at her. ]

[originallutece]

[Ah. Rosalind smiles faintly, pleased by that.]

Good night, Noctis.
