Summary
Thankfully, Ludvic arrived home first.
I could tell it was he because he let himself in quietly, with no slamming of doors or hallooing the house, and he had the distinctive tread of a large man who habitually steps lightly. He passed the doorway to the sitting room and stopped, taking in my predicament.

Summary
"Cliopher will be staying in my rooms for the duration of his recovery," Conju went on. "The healers have assured me that he will be sleeping for a while and won't be able to pay close attention to his surroundings." A short pause, before Conju spoke again, with uncharacteristic hesitation. "It is likely that he would not realise that you were there, should you, at any point, wish to see for yourself that your orders for him to remain abed were followed."
Note: This Touch AU takes its canon divergence point from a scene in the Embers series fic Unquenchable, which is set shortly after Petty Treasons and deals with Kip's episode of bonebreak fever mentioned in Hands of the Emperor. It's written as a standalone - it's not necessary to read any of the Embers fics to follow this one - though Unquenchable does give Kip's pov of some of the early scenes if that's of any interest.
