[ if her room looks tidy in the way that suggests it's been unlived in, that's due to the fact that it more or less has been. she'd stuck to it and the inn in the first few days, after she and matthew had had their hearing damaged, but aside from that she's been avoiding spending much time in it. she'd been like that while living, too, no matter how luxurious the spaces she occupied were, tending to only spend time in those places when she needed the rest.
