[Alas, coming home to roost never meant a promise of downtime any more than going to Area 11 as a "vacation" did. Especially not now. While he's not physically stationed anymore, it hasn't meant any less contact with the governor and her knight, and all the more with his fellow Rounds members. He'd gotten called away because Bismarck had wanted to hear for himself, beyond the reports, prior to their conference call abroad. And why wouldn't Jeremiah happily acquiesce, personal respect aside? A direct line to the emperor is nothing to be brushed off, and his words through the Knight of One could ultimately hold more power than any on paper.
It's terrifying, really, that trust placed in him and his position in rare moments like those.
Still, Jeremiah knows the first week back is bound to be hectic, and true, it isn't until late that he finally drags himself back. He already requested tea service, something herbal, something to help him get his sleep back on schedule, because that's roughly all the plans he holds for the evening. So it comes as a bit of a surprise to find a certain someone not only still around, but still nude, now in his bed when Jeremiah steps past the threshold of his door.]
