Amber was grateful Philip wouldn't push. She knew
that all he would have accomplished by that was
alienating her even more. She sniffled a little and
replied, "You mean the council." Sighing, she said,
"Well, I got a nap in earlier, but I'm awake now.
Time differences and all," she said, knowing that
wasn't the reason she wasn't going to get back to
sleep. "And I like it here, it's peaceful. But I
don't want to keep you. If you want to get back, go
ahead," she said. She hoped he wasn't waiting on her
to go about his own business.
"I'm up fer the day." Philip admitted "There's no way I'm closin my eyes
with the likes o' the Council in th' same House."
He looked toward the House "Bu' I wouldn't mind heading in in a bit and
grabbin' some coffee. Bu' for now," he said, leaning back and watching the
sky "Sunrise sounds good."
