Rirrym woke with a start as he heard his friend gasp out. The dog was off his lap a moment later, running towards the bed to try and offer Cromthal some comfort.
The next sound he heard was the faint sound of the dog licking Cromthal's face, and what sounded like "Get off you silly mutt..." coming from the bard.
"What is it, Cromthal? What woke you?" Rirrym asked as he stood and wrapped his blanket around himself before moving across the room to the bed. "Surely we haven't got another intruder trying to enter the room, or I'm sure the dog would have warned us first..."
Cromthal shook his head, trying to rid himself of the images within the dream. "No, I just had a nightmare.. I am sorry to have woken you both."
Rirrym smiled. "'Tis nothing, Cromthal. We all have nightmares penetrating our dreams every once in a while. Would you like me to go downstairs and see if I can get you something to help you sleep, or would you rather we both stay awake for a while longer?"
