[ Rhy is a frequent nighttime wanderer of Castle Thorne, and has been since he got here. For a while, it was better, after Kell was Summoned too. But the peaceful nights are gone once more, and now the horrible things he's seen in Nott, the thought of war, the realization this isn't even it yet, all keep him up with a vengeance. Kell tries to get him to go back to bed so often, it's lost all meaning and effectiveness. The potions don't do much good either, and he doesn't like to take too many of them, or he won't be as sharp the next day, when he needs his concentration for his work.
So he does what he often does when he finds himself staring up at the ceiling in the dark for too many hours on end. He pulls on some loose trousers and a robe, and he goes for a walk.
Usually, the castle is empty. Occasionally, there are guards and the rare servant who has to work at night for one reason or another. Sometimes, though, he'll run into someone else in a similar boat.
Rhy immediately assumes that is the case with Jack, when he turns a corner and sees him ambling down the opposite end of the hall. ]
