Calaethis awoke at the noise, and winced. He heard his cousin re-enter the room and hit the bed. He said nothing, and tried to sleep. Several hours later, he awoke. It was about one hour to dawn. He yawned, and sighed. He may as well get up. He did so, but didn't bother to dress. He walked around his room, although, it wasn't really his anymore... he spotted Alliene sleeping. Seating himself on the edge of the bed, he looked down at her, fondness in his eyes. Not wanting to disturb her, he sighed slightly and began to rise. Unfortunately, his weight on the bed, or sudden lack of it, woke his cousin, who gave him a sour look. "Its only one hour 'til dawn Ali" he said softly. "And I was only seeing if you were all right... you seemed so tired last night.." He reached out and took her hand in his own, "Sleep well cousin. I'll just go back to sleeping on the floor..."
