I asked her if she wished to relocate somewhere else, but she declined. Apparently, she doesn't like sleeping alone for fear of the cold.

"Well, as long as she's alright..." Rory made a mental note to bring them a blanket or two before he left that floor. "I appreciate your cutting to the quick, Nei'ess.
