[Asbel had actually fallen asleep in the living room at the time. He was concerned about Richard... It was unusual for the man to be gone so late, especially since he should be careful due to his wounds.

But when Richard starts fumbling with the door, it disturbs Asbel from his slumber, and he groggily stirs awake.]

[The mere fact that Richard is having trouble with the door is unusual in and of itself-- and yes, that thump may have been him giving it a light boot out of annoyance. At last he manages to defeat the doorknob, however, and slips in as quietly as he can, not even realizing that Asbel is there on the couch. He just wants to get back to his room before anyone asks any questions about where he's been and why he was out so late.]

[Okay, that is way too much noise being made by whoever is there, so Asbel sits up from his position to look in the direction of the noise.

Wait, is that-?]

...Richard...?

[... oh crap, busted. Richard isn't so drunk that he doesn't realize this is not the best situation to be caught in, so he quickly pastes a smile on his face and tries to act as if nothing is odd about this.]

Asbel. I didn't realize you were still up.
