Paige knocks quietly on the door to the room opposite her own. She had been standing there for several moments beforehand, debating with herself, and is sure she looked rather silly doing so. She has no reason to be shy or nervous and instead concentrates on waiting.

Soon the door opens and a familiar glow greets her eyes. The room behind Jono is dark. He doesn't say anything.

"Feeling any better?" she asks gently.

Jono shrugs. "A bit, I suppose."

"Well, it's still early. Plenty of time to rest. I hope you're feeling your wonderful, perky self by morning." She grins, a little twinkle in her eye.

"No doubt about that," he says, rather laconic.

"If I wasn't so self confindent, I'd think I bore, Jono," she replies, mimicking his even tone somewhat.

Jono glances at her then looks somewhere over her shoulder. "It's good that you are, then."

Paige shakes her head with a smile. "Maybe I'll rub off on you." She taps his nose, a movement so fast he doesn't have time to bat her away, and grins when his focus is returned to her. "Good night, Jono. Rest well."

He takes a step back, eyes crossing very quickly as he follows Paige's finger. "..You too."

"Will do." With that, she cross the hall, and enters her own room, closing the door quietly behind her.
