It wasn't long after Shera was put to bed that he followed suit.  With a warm meal in his belly, and still recovering from his wounds he had little energy to spare and certainly none for his evening exercises.  Sleep came quickly and was blessedly deep and unremarkable, and by morning he was already starting to feel better.  Not that the sudden, and somewhat rude, awakening helped much.<br/><br/>He was an early riser, always had been and his years of travel had only strengthened the habit.  But, recovering as he was he had over slept, something he would assuredly not do again in light of Maki's bedside manner.  The sudden loss of the blanket awoke him with a start, and his sleep dulled mind reacted suddenly with poor Kaiyse rolling off the slab-made-bed to land on his feet.  This resulted in a strained grunt and one hand pressed tightly to his healing wound, and a moment taken to regain his breath before casting Maki a weak smile.<br/><br/>"Good morning, Lady Maki."  He straightened slowly and carefully rolled his shoulders a few times to help loosen up the muscles of his chest and back, and to better judge how his wound was doing today, before finally turning to face her, glancing at the food briefly.  He was starving, unsurprisingly, but was not so blunt of character as to simply dig in straight away.<br/><br/>"I appologize for over sleeping...it is not your place to need awaken me, after all.  Thank you."  Her almost aggresive announcement of his days activities did little to sour his mood; he would succeed, there was simply no other option after all.  It would be challenging, but challenges were what made life interesting and worth living, after all.<br/><br/>A light sheen of sweat covered his body, brought on by the sudden stab of pain when he had first gained his feet, and it was already cooling in the frosty air, but he showed little concern asides briefly brushing at his arms to smooth out any goose bumps that had formed, "I do not suppose you've ever had the displeasure of dawning armour in the dead of winter, Lady Maki?  Although I suppose it wouldn't be quite so uncomfortable to you, used to the temperature as you are.  No manner of padded vestments can keep that chill off."
