"What is it? Who is here?" I scanned the room around us, but there was no one there. What was wrong with her? Why did she scream?
"Y… you were on th-the floor," she said, stretching her hands toward the spot where I had laid down.
"Yes, I was about to sleep. Is there a spider next to me?" I shivered, my skin tingling at the thought of spiders.
"No spiders, but you laid on the bare floor to sleep," she said, still visibly shocked.
"I wanted to sleep, Penny. Didn't you say I should rest?" I replied, genuinely confused and weirded out by her reaction.
"Yes, but on the floor? The bare floor?" She emphasized the last part. "My lady, there is a whole bed right beside you." She looked at me with a disapproving expression.
