Knights were supposed to have been trained to function on lack of sleep, and yet…
At first, it was a bit jarring to settle down with the others when there was a dragon insistent on sleeping close to the Commander, but a bit deeper in the forest.
Irene could tell that others were hesitating as well by the way they cast glances in her direction. It caused her to wonder if the dragon could sense people's emotions and if it would bother her to feel like a spectacle to the knights.
Rather than continuing to cautiously glance towards Sylaron, Irene opted to roll over onto her side at least until she fell asleep. It wasn't the most optimal way to sleep on the hard ground, but it was better than feeling like she was going to make the dragon feel bad that no one seemed to trust her, despite having only done good things for the travelers so far.
