After a fruitless search through the faire, Simon went to his assigned room. It was considerate, he supposed, that people were provided with rooms. At this point, he was so exhausted that as long as he could be sure the Alliance wouldn't find him, he'd stay just about anywhere.
His heart all but stopped upon entering the room, because there, curled up in one of the beds, was his sister. Simon thought of waking her to ask how she was, but she was sleeping so peacefully that he couldn't. She sometimes had terrible nightmares. He checked as much as he could without disturbing her, then, rather than climbing into his own bead, he pulled up a chair by River's bed and reached for one of her hands. The exhaustion took over him before he had time to even think about how achy he might be come morning.
