Rirrym shrugged. "I'm not really sure... I guess all the excitement earlier is just taking its toll now. I'll try and be a little quieter when I do feel tired." He let out a small sigh, knowing that dawn would soon arrive and not really wanting it to. Dawn would mean the possibility of leaving the inn, and even if he had made a companion that he knew he would have many adventures with in the future, a part of him still wanted to stay put for a while. 'Ah well,' he thought to himself. 'Best not to think about it until the time comes when a decision has to be made.' He let out a quiet sigh.
By now he could hear the steady breathing of slumber from Cromthal on the bed. The dog jumped off the bed, and Rirrym sat at the window scratching the dog behind the ears. "What's your name, little fella?" he whispered. The dog merely looked up at him, tail wagging. Rirrym stiffled a yawn. 'Maybe I can fall asleep now...' he wondered as he crawled back quietly to the chair and settled down once again for a few hours sleep. Before he could fall asleep, though, he felt a sudden weight on his legs, moving up to his chest. He opens an eye, only to receive a lick on the cheek. "Alright, you can sleep here if you like," Rirrym whispered to the furry beast with the hint of a chuckle in his voice. He gave one last yawn and went off to sleep.
