Lilly stirs, a little, at the sound of the door opening. Her eyes blink open, and she starts to smile as she focuses on Alain.

"You're back."

He smiles at her, a little, as he moves further into the room. It's strangely touching, and twists painfully at his heart, to find her waiting up for him.

"Just the night."

Lilly blinks.

"You've been gone three days, 'lain."

There's worry creeping into her voice now.

Alain blinks at her, taken aback.

"...I think we'd have noticed."

There's a brief moment of doubt -- but, no. Time slipping is one thing, but not to miss an entire span of daylight. They would have noticed.
