Waking is more of a difficult prospect than it ought to be, the fact of which Galadan refuses to become resigned

The knocking on the door is sharp, measured, and somehow conveys an air of stiffness.

. . . and quite probably this already gives Galadan a good idea of who is standing outside.

Galadan sets his cup down upon his recently-used plate, then makes his way toward the door.

He's moving a bit slower than was previously his wont, but his eyes are clear.

"Mary Lennox," he says, opening the door and stepping aside to give her room to enter.

"Today finds you well, I hope?"

"Much better than I have been," Mary answers, truthfully.

She steps inside and then stands there, unsure of where else to go, folding her hands into her skirt.

"And you?" Her mouth forms the word ought, and then she bites down on it before the rest of the sentence can emerge: ought you to be standing up?

"Wearier than I prefer to be, certainly, but compared to the initial moments of our return, it hardly signifies."

During this speech he closes the door, then turns to regard Mary.

"Do you care to sit?"

The room has a chair, which he is not using at the present time.
