[ Well it's been a riveting day, but sometimes you decide it's time to retire to your (new) room for the night—cue Alphinaud walking in. What'cha up to, Dorothy. ]
[ Whatever the reason, probably the need to be able to sleep, the both of them are back in their room. And Dorothy, studying Alphinaud, hums a little thoughtfully. ]
[ Sometime late in the night, Alphinaud finally returns to the room. Since Monday he's been careful enough to knock before entering—look, he'd rather not have a repeat of before!—but this time, too exhausted to think twice of it, he simply makes his way in.
And all he ends up doing is tiredly sitting at the edge of his own bed, hands wrapped around a cup of tea. Don't ask me what kind it is idk anything about tea. It's stress tea. ]
[ Knock knock, Dorothy. The door is open, but Alphinaud raps at it with a knuckle nonetheless, and he calls out, voice slightly lowered in case she is asleep: ]
[ While coming through the inn, Alphinaud spots none other than Dorothy lounging around on the sofas. He hadn't been able to speak with her yesterday, so he's relieved to see her today, even if she's in poor shape.
[ Dorothy doesn't really want to check out Yeehaw Town anymore, not on her crutches-- but there's Alphinaud, making his way back, and she blinks and lifts a hand in a wave.
Look, she doesn't know who can or can't hear right now. ]
[ Yep, he's heading on out, slightly dirtied, somewhat exhausted, but otherwise doing okay. Along the way he catches Dorothy giving a wave, and decides to close the distance. She could probably use a walking buddy from the looks of it. ]
[ We are at the inn! Alphinaud is sitting around on the couches at the lobby, with—of course—tea in hand. It has been helping with the effects of poison, at least. ]
I had some trouble sleeping last night, is all. 'Tis a poor day to tackle when not well rested, I say.

Well, more specifically, changing, though thankfully she is in the Victorian undergarments and only from the waist up, so it's fine.
Probably. ]
Well, I suppose you shouldn't have to knock if it's your own room.

... Yes. Alphinaud?
[ She's pretty sure it's him, but just to be sure. ]

[ Huh... He approaches, then sits across from her; when her eyes don't follow him, it's telling enough. ]
Have your eyes been affected, as well?
