"What are you doing here, sir?" Irene called to Samson who was walking with a horse.
By that point, Sir Gunnar had made it to the wall segment where the horses were. As he tried to find the rope ladders that went up to the top, his eyebrows lowered when his hands met nothing.
"Where are the ladders?" Gunnar asked before more chatter could ensue.
"Ah…" Irene trailed off a bit embarrassed. "I didn't want anyone to sneak up on us. I was getting tired and wondered if we might fall asleep."
"Speak for yourself," Leif defended himself. "I didn't once say that I was tired."
"But look at you," Irene argued.
"Enough," Gunnar said before they could get into one of their pointless arguments.
Shortly after, Irene dropped down the two ladders while Leif dumped the rest of his waterskin over the fire. The two apprentices were summoned to the ground and they both dutifully stood before Sir Gunnar despite how tired they actually were.
