The absence of her warmth eventually woke him from his slumber and finding her absent he felt a stir of concern. Dressing, he padded out of the room and started looking for her. This was a process that required some wandering about and asking for her, which, he noted that everyone was being rather...circumspect with their tone. It appeared as though it was not a secret that Ruth had spent the night in his room even if they weren't acknowledging it. They had Betsy to thank for that since she'd been the one to notice her absence in the servant's quarters.

"Ruth?"

He eventually found her laying outside which was a bit odd though that just meant he didn't know why she was doing it.
