[ Perhaps it seems strange, but Aymeric's mind has associated Nidhogg with further pain, and evidently that is distressing enough to cause him to cease making any actions at all. But with the lance put out of sight, the fear that temporarily gripped him subsides, and he resumes slowly eating the food that had been procured for him.
Before too long, he has finished what he was given, and aside from setting the tray down on the floor once more, Aymeric's movements cease once again.
With nothing more to do than sit there, Aymeric's eyes slowly slide closed, as exhaustion sweeps over him once more. The food certainly helped, although it will take more than one attempt at eating to restore his lost strength, and so for the moment, Aymeric remains seated with his back to the wall, half dozing but dimly aware of the man still seated across from him.
It isn't until some time has passed, perhaps a little over an hour, that a faint knock sounds from the door at the end of the hall. Aymeric fell asleep at some point during that time, and so the sound does not wholly register with him, but the hand that is resting on the floor twitches as if trying to stir its owner back to a state of wakefulness. ]
