Turin
Turin had been watching the closed door of Robyn's moreso than paying attention to his game. Then Roland came out of his room swearing that he could not sleep. Turin counted himself lucky that he had not made a move toward the other door already. It would not have been well for his charge to see him with interests for anything but the mission.
Then a knock came at the door, with the voice of a man that cared not for the sleeping neighbors.
He looked worriedly over at Roland.
In whispers, he said, "Take my sword there on the ground and stand behind the door. I will act as though I am the only one awake. Be careful. Okay...let's do this."
Turin walked to the door and waited for Roland to take his position. He spoke to the man outside in the meantime.
"I shall open the door straight away, sir...as soon as I can get on my pants! Won't be but a second!"
