Gawain slowly opened his eyes, but this time, Amber's face wasn't there leaning in.
A faint snoring sound was coming from beside him.
Looking down following the sound, he saw the pointy-eared half-elf girl lying on the desk, her head resting on her hands, already deep in sleep.
This gal, she sure brings peace once she's asleep.
Gawain couldn't help but smile. As soon as he moved slightly, Amber, who was sleeping on the table, suddenly woke up, her eyes wide open looking this way: "Hey, you're finally back!"
Gawain opened his mouth, just about to speak, when Amber immediately began to loudly chatter: "Hey, let me tell you, I wasn't slacking off, I was just taking a nap. You can't dock my pay for this, my senses are sharp, I'm always alert even while asleep..."
Gawain: "...I haven't said anything yet."
As expected, this gal's peace is limited to when she's asleep—once she's awake, the noise one Amber can create absolutely exceeds that of two thousand ducks.
