They had both fallen asleep easily enough. At some point during the night Atrophus awoke feeling part of a warm body pressed against him, an arm slung across his chest. Somewhat sleepy eyes looked down to see that somehow Riatcha had mananged to work her head and most of her body in under his left arm and now her face was pressed tightly against side. At first he frowned and trying not to wake her he attempted to extricate himself from her one armed hug, but she moved with him, not letting go. After a moment he let out a sigh and lay still, allowing her to stay snuggled in against him, even going so far as to move his arm around her gently. A few minutes later he fell asleep like that.

Riatcha was in the main room, having set out the table for their breakfast and took a seat as Atrophus also joined her at the table with freshly made tea. He watched her intently for a moment before speaking.
"Did your meeting with Triumvir go well?" He asked. He poured tea into both their cups; his a purple one, hers a dark green. She nodded.
