Due to all the recent work that needed to be done around the city and watching over Mikaela every night, Ailwin's mind and body is exhausted.
When he entered Mika's bedroom he only meant to to rest his eyes for a few minutes before get back up to help Commander Zo with their army, but instead he ended up going directly to sleep.
Trapped in a deep slumber, he didn't see Drakonas entering the room or going into Mika's mind.
It was only when he felt two hard slaps to his face did he wake up and realized that he and Mika weren't alone in the bedroom.
Jumping out of his makeshift bed, Ailwin was immediately on high alert as his hand reached for his dagger. Scouring the room, he waited and listened for any movement.
Moving towards Mikaela, he checked to make sure she was alright before moving to turn the lights on.
