I'm saying that most people don't wanna sleep in a room full of strangers, [ Riz is quick to retort, hands planted firmly on his hips while Fabian starts messing around with all of the leaves and twigs in his hair. That excuse is just like Riz too; he always seems to have some excuse for his aversion to sleeping. He's straight-up lied to a few people here and told them that Goblins need less sleep, has cited having too much work, having slept in, sheets being in the wash, too much late caffeine, and a flat leave me alone on several separate occasions. He's wildly inconsistent with any reasoning beyond the fact that he seemingly refuses to sleep, but he looks pleased to see Fabian despite the potential of Fabian trying to shoo him to sleep.

Which he won't. Because he's on night watch duty, and the only thing Fabian probably likes less than stomping around the forest by himself in the dead of the night is stomping around the forest by himself in the dead of the night alone. ]

C'mon, come up with an excuse for me to do night watch with you. I could be your assistant!

[ He shoots Fabian a wide-eyed, pleading look, which he knows probably won't work as well as the prospect of company will. It only really works on his Mom. And sometimes Kristen, but Kristen's just kind of a sucker. ]
