"They are. Most tucked into bed at this hour." Asleep and unaware of their King's struggles with thoughts and memories that still overwhelm him years after the fact. They don't need to know. This is his burden to bear, and her heart is more than strong enough to weather when these moments are most difficult. Even if she didn't love him the way she does, even if they were only friends, she would do this for him. Gladly. Her love only makes it easier to be strong for him when he needs it most, much the same as he's done for her when she's needed him the same way.

Her smile warms when his grip shifts on her hand, and she leans forward to press a soft kiss to the back of his. "Nothing comes for them, or for you. It's only our family here tonight." Them and the ravens, thankfully resting elsewhere so as not to cause him further fright.

She doesn't shift or move from her spot on the bed as she watches him, still patient as he takes the necessary steps down from what he's seen. "What do you need?" she asks softly. "What questions can I answer for you?" She's putting the control of this moment in his hands, guiding him to whatever he needs. She'll make sure he gets it, whatever that is.
