[ As is customary for him, Aymeric's mind is turning far too much for him to find sleep so easily. With the battle looming on the horizon as well as the tactical strategies still chasing themselves around in his mind, he decides he needs to find a way to settle his thoughts before he can find rest.

[ He steps back from the doorway so that she might enter, all the while thanking Halone or whoever it was that led Alkaid to his doorstep tonight. ]
