"That's very merciful of you." He dug his room key out of his pocket as they walked down the hallway, and finally reached the room number that was his. "Now remember, you said no peeking," he warned, giving her a narrow-eyed look, hands poised to unlock and open the door.

"Just a bit, perhaps?" He chuckled softly, continuing to run his fingers lightly through her hair, separating the tangles.

"Probably more than a bit." She admitted with a chuckle, her eyes drifting closed again as he continued to play with her hair.

"Hm? Well, possibly." He was still smirking a little as she settled back in, his fingers keeping up the steady pressure across her scalp and gentle teasing through her hair.

"And I seriously don't think I could carry you." She chuckled, shifting onto her side so that she could wrap an arm around his middle.

"I am a bit on the heavy side," Alistair quipped, yawning and tugging her close enough to snuggle.

"Probably best to let you do the carrying." She agreed, snuggling into his side as she battled back a small yawn.

"My pleasure," he replied around another yawn, running his fingers lightly up and down her back.
