When Godric brought up his beautiful sister, Merrick did his best to keep from looking guilty about the thoughts that had plagued him about Lady Moore. He was thoroughly attracted to her and he knew he shouldn't be. For one she was Godric's sister but for two, she was Sir Shelton's widow and he should have more respect for his poor departed colleague.
The man's final words felt like a kick to the gut to Merrick, given his slightly impure thoughts on the matter. He would simply have to do better, be better when it came to her. He nodded as he reached up to scratch at his stubbled jaw. What choice did he really have if he wanted to keep his job and the esteem of his friend?
"Alrigh', I'll loo' af'er 'er," he agreed after a moment of silence that could be attributed to being woken up. "I suppose I should get dressed then?" It was more of a statement than a question as he turned from the door and walked over to his bed to pull on his boots. His pants were in fine enough shape that they would do for the day. Once the boots were in place, he pulled on a loose shirt, trying the collar together so it wasn't hanging open sloppily. He then stood and grabbed a vest and fastened it closed almost up to his neck.
