There was no real privacy until the maid left and Nariko waited impatiently for that, wanting to be at his side with all the protective instinct of an infuriated animal. But the idea of having anyone see her or them in that state was unsettling so she might have glared at said maid, just a little. When he was near her she let the blanket go, far more concerned with reaching out and carding her fingers through his hair, trying to soothe him even by just a fraction of an inch.
"You won't have to, the next time someone knocks on the door I'll open it, and you won't have to deal with it. 'Not just yours to carry' and all that." Unless there was a true fight, or someone was dead she could tell people to fuck off, it wasn't that difficult.
"Roland, look at me," Even if he didn't she certainly looked at him, just not with her usual stubborn, hardheaded nature, now it was something gentler, just as imploring but not with such a lack of subtlety. "Everything was fine as it could be, and it can go right back to that. We are both still here, and what's wrong can wait until the morning, I promise, so there's no sense in wasting warm bath water. I have enough silly questions to distract you for the rest of the night." She slid off of the bed but didn't quite let go, nor did she forcefully pull him. "You can listen to them or find a way to shut me up after getting through at least three, those are the only options."
