She looked up, watched him for a moment, and found herself mirroring his smile despite the strange mix of emotions still swirling inside her. Their conversation had had quite a few twists and turns - but ultimately, it had been pleasant enough. Far more so than the discussion - and argument - that happened earlier that morning.
That was probably why that wave of disappointment hit so prominently when he spoke again, her expression shifting back to something more neutral. Right. Of course. He had planned to rest after he ate - and she had encouraged that particular course of action, knowing full well that he needed it after all that had happened.
Slowly; reluctantly, she leaned away from him again, "I can see you to your room, if you like." Not because he needed an escort, but maybe she wasn't the only one disappointed that the conversation had to end so soon. "Unless you would prefer the time to yourself. I did interrupt you once already, after all."
