It isn't to say that Susan is a light sleeper, she hasn't been since she was a child- but sharing a bed with someone does tend to make one more aware of their surroundings. He didn't startle her awake, but she did wake up. Slowly and not entirely certain why. Turning her head to face Basil she blinked a few times, eyes adjusting to the dark. He was awake- which would explain why he was touching her arm.
"Bas?" She mumbled groggily, "You alright?" Her accent was always thicker when she was tired, and while most days it was light and sometimes not even noticeable- tonight? This early? It was thick as London fog.
