Roland was reading The Lord of the Rings, and he got bogged down in Book IV. He's done too much walking himself -- Frodo and Sam's problems along the way to Mordor aren't anything new or interesting. His eyelids were getting heavy.

So now Roland is taking a nap.

Roland just raises an eyebrow.

Nap or no, it's rare when he doesn't feel tired, these days.

In the silence and amid the strange stillness that fills her, Susan rises and curtseys to Roland once more, saying,

"I'd not trouble thee overlong, Roland -- we've said what were needed, mayhap."

Roland nods, and rises as well. "We have, Sue. It is well."

The courtesy done him by her bothers him, somehow -- but he can't blame her.

Is it well? She can't be certain, but she can hope. And so she looks up at him and says, "... I'm glad of that, then, say true."

Susan moves to the door and pauses there, looking back at him.

(go yer course in as much peace as thee may find - and go with my love)

"Goodeven, Roland. I'll see thee again soon, mayhap."

[lastgunslinger]

"You will. Long days and pleasant nights."

Looking after her, now, that same expression still on his face.
