[ The words register in his still sleeping mind, and slowly and very reluctantly, he stirs. He does so with care, so as not to disturb Lantaa, but it seems that the time for rest has ended. However, he may be able to move without waking her, and so she can sleep on.
He moves slowly, hoping to slide from the bed and away from her, although that is the last thing that he wants, eyes fixed on her, looking for any signs that he has disturbed her.
If he can manage it, he intends to cross from the bed to the door, speak with the steward, and then make himself presentable for whoever has come to visit.
As luck would have it, she remains asleep, and so he does what he needs to before leaving their room and going to speak with their visitors. He finishes exchanging the token pleasantries with Reid (because Estinien does a good job of appearing uninterested) when he hears the door behind him open and he turns slightly to glance at it. ]
