"Of course," Elidibus assures. He sounds sincere and is very good at sounding sincere. But he's also lying. If there's no need for Danny to handle a crisis, he'll be left to sleep.

"I've arranged for some bedding. Find an empty place and I'll return with some food." As promised he goes to fetch water and a simple bit of food that won't settle badly on Danny's stomach. 'Bedding' meanwhile is defined as simple padding, Voidtrecker issued sleeping bags, and pillow.

The Ascian will return with the snack, though whether the youth has fallen asleep or not remains in question. Though it's at least partially expected, since the simple snack and drink are the type that will keep for hours.
