"Aye," was offered in response to her question and as she spoke of where she had heard it he smirked a bit, offering a quiet laugh, "You should have told your teacher to learn a few more songs," words offered jokingly. Then he slipped back into silence once more, shifting so that he could rest the back of his head against the palms of his hands.
When Aerith broke the silence, once more, Rurik failed to answer immediately. However, he finally exhaled a quiet sigh, "Sleep is being rather elusive this evening," he couldn't pin point why. It surely wasn't the thought of an upcoming battle. He'd slept rather peacefully in the past when such things loomed on the horizon, "If I try to force sleep upon myself I will be fairly useless come tomorrow. So I shall linger away until sleep takes me on its own, or, well, I will simply stay awake."
