Richard.

I am showing you where the shops are so you can buy more clothing and stop looking so incredibly uncomfortable. Please do meet me outside of your room as soon as you have a moment? I don't particularly wish to stand around waiting for you all day.

[[The marquis is. Yes. A little short right now? He hasn't actually been sleeping much, and

... A-all right. I'll be right there.

Are you all right?

[littlebitdodgy]

Just fine, Richard. You hardly need to concern yourself over me.

[slightlyscotish]

All right...

*Steps into the hallway holding two bottles of water, as he doesn't know how far the shops are and they might get thirsty. Doesn't say anything, but does give the Marquis a questioning look*

[littlebitdodgy]

*The good thing about looking as the marquis does is that it is very hard to tell when he's exhausted, though there may be tiredness around his eyes*

*Does grin at him, though, completely normal now* At least you've come prepared, though I doubt this will be such an expedition.

*And the marquis de Carabas wakes up after almost twenty hours, much more slowly than usual--a gradual awakening that he does not mind, stirring slightly and puzzled to find himself stretched out, head resting on his arms.

Oh. Yes, that was right

Sits up, blinking somewhat at how relaxed he still feels, reflecting that he doesn't regret thanking Richard for this in retrospect, as the difference is really rather amazing*

*Richard himself is still in the room; in fact, sleeping next to de Carabas, though facing away from him. He had pottered about the room for a while, trying not to wake up, and at one point Richard decided to move in - out of a combination of fear for the marquis disappearing and wanting to make sure he slept - and so he did*

[littlebitdodgy]

*... Blinking at him. This. Is new. And somewhat amusing, or he's certain it will be after he gets over the utter surprise* Well, that is certainly new.

[slightlyscotish]

*Still sleeping. And doesn't look like he's going to wake up, unless he is made to*
