"You are up so late, Edwin. Do you always stay up when Rafael goes out?" Annalise asked as she walked up the steps.

"They will be staying with us for a few days or maybe weeks. I don't know exactly how long. They will both need a room and maybe something to eat. You don't need to wake Mavis and the maids. I will help you prepare the rooms or get the food. I just need a moment to take off my armour," Annalise said, already taking off her helmet.

She desperately needed a fire to warm up.

"That won't be necessary. I will prepare their rooms and get the cook to warm up any leftover dinner. Please excuse me for a moment," said Edwin.
