Laurie realized she had tired Rave with her long speech. It was easy to let one's memories sweep one along and forget those who listened. She stood quickly and searched for Pio, who was entering from the door leading to the rooms above. Laurie laid a restraining hand on Rave's arm and motioned with her head in Pio's direction as she spoke.
"Pio can fix you up with a room, she is the innkeeper here. I'm sorry to have rattled on to such length, I wish you a peaceful and restful sleep." The thought of a warm bed made Laurie realize she too was becoming sleepy and she began to contemplate going up to a room herself.
