Ragnar quietly shut the door to Athelstan's art room, padding along beside him as they traversed the short little path back to the house. The sky was just starting to lighten, though it was still more predawn than dawn.
"Not really. I do not remember what I dreamt," He said with a soft smile, following Athelstan inside, "But it woke me up."
The panic of thinking Athelstan was gone had definitely woken him up more, but the monk already seemed wracked with guilt. He didn't need any more help.
"Rash?" Ragnar echoed the word with a slight smile that was devoid of any warmth, "No."
It wouldn't be rash at all. It would be well thought out and executed with calculation. Not rash.
Athelstan thought about the other's comment. He wonders what it was that he had been dreaming. Dreams are often a curious thing, he thinks, anymore. He doesn't further ask, though, if the other doesn't remember but it woke him up if it comes back to him he'd surely tell him.
If Athelstan was in a better state of mind he would have caught the fact that he hadn't worded his request correctly, not nearly covering what he would need to to make sure that Ragnar didn't do anything retaliatory but he's mentally exhausted and drained even if he feels like the last thing he can do is sleep.

"Alright," he murmurs.
