Jarek solves the one-bed problem. #WIPSnips Note: Really tried to hammer that these two do not have romantic feelings toward each other.

After a moment of thought, where he stared at the fire as his eggs grew cold, Jarek offered a proposal. “You can stay in my room.”

“Your room?” Giselle stifled herself on a mouthful of eggs. He nodded as she swallowed. He doubted his father or Alistair would break into his room to scurry her off, not while he was present. If they did, he had the control rod to stop them. Not that Jarek knew how it worked. Fiddling with it showed him a lack of any moving parts or switches. Nevertheless, he was sure he’d figure it out.

“Last I remember, there’s only one bed,” Giselle pointed out.

“I have a carpet. I’ll sleep there.”

“You’ll sleep on the floor while a commoner sleeps on your bed?” Giselle asked, flabbergasted.

Jarek nodded, confused as to why the suggestion shocked her. In the fables, King Andur often sacrificed his own comfort to those in need, stating that those with power must do what they can to help those without. No matter how he viewed it, Jarek had more power in the situation than her, so he had more to sacrifice.

“The floor’s not so bad.” Jarek smiled, careful not to reveal his teeth this time. “Just pass me a few pillows and I’ll curl up. Better for my back.”
