Alia looked at him quizzingly. She had no idea what he was trying to say, nor why he was acting so nervous. She wasn't threatening him or anything. "[color=f7976a]I'm suggesting that you take the bed, of course, at least for now,[/color]" Alia said. "[color=f7976a]You're still exhausted from the overuse of magic, right? Just lie down and take some time to recover.[/color]" Alia smiled as she added, "[color=f7976a]I'll be with you and make sure you're recovering nicely.[/color]" 

As Edric did what he did, Alia was reminded of the old days with her master. She had been in the same state from overuse of magic, and her master was the one who brought her back to some comfortable place to rest up. Even when she feebly tried to complain that she could go on or that she was being babied, her master simply gave her "the look". And here she was now, doing more or less the same thing for someone else. Alia thought it was pretty funny and couldn't help but smile at the thought. Time certainly passed.
