[It's Castorice's turn to have a visit during the middle of the night. It's... Admittedly, a bit late. Somewhere between two or three in the morning kind of late. Which is probably why the knock itself somehow manages to sound a little sheepish.]
[Given the late hour, Castorice is naturally asleep, wrapped tightly around a small chimera plush. The knock is soft enough that she doesn't stir immediately. Instead, it's the sound of Polly's own yipping at the sound that draws her into the waking realm.
The problem, however, is that she mistakes the fussing for the young pup needing to go outside. Castorice takes another moment to shoulder a robe on, before opening the door and nearly walking straight into Phainon. A squeak leaves her as she takes a step back, while Polly wriggles out of the door and proceeds to run a few circles around Phainon's legs.]
L-Lord Phainon. I - did not realize you had come for a visit. [Unless...] Or, was it that Polly was fussing. If so, I do apologize for the disturbance.
[It’s just long enough that he’s debating heading off and trying again at a more… Reasonable? Hour? Especially given how he’s clearly disturbed Polly and oh dear there goes the door—]
No, no! Aha, sorry I. Didn’t think to consider that you… Might be asleep until I’d already knocked? So that’s my fault. Sorry.
[He is going to lean down and Scoop Polly up into his arms though. Hey sweetheart how’s it goin.]
[Naturally, the pup squirms within Phainon's arms, doing his best to reach his chin for an array of both licks and nips. Even sleepy and confused as she is, Castorice cannot help but be endeared.]
It is quite alright. [She rubs at an eye, then stifles a yawn. Only then does she take a step back into her room, opening the door.]
