Lucius had not slept much; his unease and restlessness had prevented him from getting any rest. His thoughts were all over the place.
He sat up, making a small noise that Kevin heard, prompting him to turn and look at Lucius with a questioning expression.
Lucius simply shook his head and, in a low voice, told him that he could sleep and that he would stay up on guard until morning.
Kevin seemed like he wanted to interrupt, but Lucius lifted a hand to stop him. "It's fine; go rest. I need some time to think," he said, having found it pointless to try and sleep any further. Kevin nodded and went to get some rest.
As Lucius looked at the sleeping Lily nearby, he sighed and closed his eyes, entering a state of meditation, attempting to move the mana around his body to get used to it.
Time passed swiftly, and the early dawn brought some light, causing him to stop and open his eyes.
