*Knock knock knock*

Some polite, gentle knocks landed on a door, but there was no response – as the occupant was fast asleep.

*Knock knock knock!*

Not to be deterred, the knocks became more urgent – however, as the knocker still did not hear any sounds from within (except snoring), he called out through the door.

"Guest Lars, please do be warned that if you do not wake up after the third set of knocks, I'll be forced to enter anyway."

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!*

"Y-Yes! Ah, I'm awake, I'm awake!"

This time, Lars was startled from his deep slumber and nearly fell out of bed, before he regained his footing and settled himself. Then he hastened over to the door, opening it up to see the steward, Ren, standing there.

Ren gave him a polite nod, before saying, "Young sir, please do get ready. It is now 15 minutes to 5 in the evening – we shall depart at 5 sharp for the barracks for the Truthstone test to be conducted."
