[Prisoner or no prisoner. But as for the other two — well, most of his guard was made up of drunkards. He did not begrudge them for it. It only meant that they still respected his authority when he was not around, and it seems to comfort him some. He’d expected that she would try to endear herself to them somehow while he was gone, but he hadn’t speculated much. Now that he’d witnessed how quickly she fell into the fantasy, he had thought about it again.
But it didn’t matter all that much, he supposed.
Ren takes the lead up the stairs to their room after dragging his soaked cloak off the table to hand to the barkeep for laundering. The room is minimally decorated: two beds on opposite ends of the room. He does not doubt that she is glad for that. But, as for insurance, he closes the door behind her, and begins stacking his armor there at the door. It would make a racket if she tried to move it at all. By the time he has finished, he has left himself with a damp tunic and pants.
And then he turns to test the mattress. Hard, but better than a tent outdoors.]
