"Sleep well, beautiful" Edward replied with a smile. He wasn't exactly tired, but he knew she needed to sleep, having worked all day. He held her in his arms until he was certain she was fully asleep. Then he gently slipped out of the bed and returned to the stacks of paper on the small table.<br/><br/>He'd need to adjust his plans. He'd been able to avoid the goblin patrols on his own, but a party of this size would be noted. He looked at the map, carefully studying the various routes and the notes he had. Though he'd made his own notes when he was down last, most of his info was gathered from other adventurers either willingly or unknowingly. He couldn't help looking at Mara everytime she made a little sound. Suddenly he was roused from his thoughts by something outside. The first rays of light heralding the new day. The maids would be here with the water soon. He quickly put the papers back and slipped back into the bed.
