[ Merrin has kept as busy as many of the others here, helping to try and break the warded locks, distributing supplies. For those who seem to be especially struggling with being trapped here, she will offer the chance for them to be heard, should anyone wish it. These people may be new to her, but that doesn't dampen her feeling of protectiveness towards all in this room; it makes her less inclined to sleep herself, preferring to keep watch, which makes it easy to take notice of anyone else doing the same.

Not wanting to startle him, Merrin's voice is soft as she approaches, but keeps a few paces away. ]

It is admirable, to study and explore this room as you have. I would trust you to give a detailed tour.

[ It is her attempt to ease in to speaking with a little gentle humor. Where she paces to keep watch, she suspects instead that he's restless, perhaps unsettled and nervous about being trapped here. ]

But you need not do it alone. I cannot sleep myself.
