Now they're faced with a true dilemma. Walking all the way over to the bed to sit will be far harder wound around each other. Untangling is not an option. Nothing for it, then. They are both delicate and graceful men and will definitely not look extremely silly shuffling across the room together.
"I'll talk for as long as you like, I'm just not sure how much of it you'll find interesting." He sits, tugging Roland down with him and only just barely resisting the urge to slide sideways into his lap. Now that he's got this closeness he wants as much of it as he can get.
"Let's see..." What happened while Roland was away that's worth noting? "There was a retreat for the tower staff. I wouldn't say I learned much but I learned something and it was a good start toward making allies of some of the other mentors. And, ah... I went out for tea with Porrim -- one of the stylists here, I don't know if you'd know her. As far as we can tell she is this universe's iteration of my mother. She even has the same name."

"It wouldn't be fair to her to equate the two of them or expect anything of her, so I've been trying to think of them as completely separate people who happen to look and act very much alike. Still, it's ... strange."
