Eir did not sleep in the bed.
Damon discovered this the next morning because he found Jian Li standing in front of the room, looking inside with a strange expression.
He approached.
"What is it?"
Jian Li pointed.
Eir was sleeping on the floor.
Not beside the bed.
Under it.
Damon remained silent for a few seconds.
"Why?"
"I don't know."
"Did you ask?"
"She's sleeping."
"Fair."
The stone drake was there too.
Sleeping on Eir's abdomen.
Damon narrowed his eyes.
"Traitor."
The animal did not even react.
Jian Li tried not to laugh.
"Maybe she's warm."
"My shirt was too."
"Are you still bitter about that?"
"Yes."
Eir opened her eyes.
She did not move.
She looked first at Damon.
Then at Jian Li.
Then at the low ceiling of the bed.
"Good."
Damon crossed his arms.
"You slept under the bed."
"Yes."
"Why?"
"More enclosed."
Jian Li tilted her head.
"Did you like it?"
"Yes."
"Then it's fine."
Eir slowly crawled out.
