Roen blinked slowly, as if moving her eyelids took a great amount of concentration on her part.
“The liquor was sweet. Mistress Momodi did warn me that it would be a sneaky thing,†she said with a regretful shake of her head. “I do not think I will be drinking that again.†She said those words firmly as though to chide herself.
Before she knew it, Roen had come to lay on the cot on her side, her eyes going from the bottle to the Sea Wolf that held it. “Maybe if I just close my eyes for a little bit,†she mumbled, stifling a yawn, “I can get my bearings to leave. Ser Jojon will understand if I just rest here a little while, I am certain.â€
The paladin let out a long sigh and gave Daegsatz an odd smile. “And then I can think of what to tell your captain. I will not have him continuing to test me. I asked him not to.†Her words were coming slower and quieter. “He said…just this once. He did. I am certain he will keep his promise…â€
Her attention was starting to drift despite her best efforts to continue. She held up a finger just above the blanket for emphasis. “And." She paused for effect. "I will not have you stay here an entire fortnight… I will find Ser Crofte. I will…and…†she trailed off.
Roen was certain she was going to finish after she just rested her eyes a little bit.
