[Well, she's certainly not used to her impromptu monologues being met with a simple nod. At least he seems to have been listening.]
That's the idea, yes.
I am going to search the area again, to see if I can locate the keys so we can actually lock the doors at night. You are welcome to come with me or simply retire to your room for the night, I won't begrudge you that.
[In his defence, Edelgard isn't social either when it comes to anything but the most professional settings, in which case she tends to love the sound of her own voice. She just simply has no idea how to relate to other people in a casual setting. But she appreciates that he seems to be listening to her, all the same.]

Though he is a bit distracted by the interior. He didn't know what he'd expect, but it certainly wasn't anything this grand... ]
We're sleeping... Here?
[ Her announcement snaps him out of his awestruck daze and makes him look down. ]
Huh! He must have had someone put that there while we were talking to him.

[She scratches her chin, humming in contemplation.]
Well. In that case, it seems likely that there's nothing keeping you from retiring to your room down the hall. If you need anything, I'm here.

See you tomorrow.
