Evie gives a charmed laugh and a mimicked bow (far less graceful and well-practiced) to Jigano as the Sage greets her so formally. Her exhaustion won't keep her from being respectful after all. Though without any sort of makeup or tinctures to hide the bruises beneath her eyes - or more likely, that Deimos is merely that observant - she does not escape all eyes. His whisper is like woodsmoke, deep and rumbling, and it reminds her so much of home and family that she considers crawling inside his coat like a baby koala and sleeping against his shoulder for a few hours.
Alas, Evie is a stubborn woman, and her pride alone will not allow her to shirk the duties that lay before them. In mimicked undertone she leans closer and responds. "There's much to be done, and too few hours in the day. Without Loren, the Apothecary has been overloaded with orders for LongNight." She gives a short sigh and straightens her shoulders. "I'll be okay. Thank you, Deimos." Evie will always appreciate the care and concern that is never found lacking beneath the man's stoic veneer.
"I'll help with preparing the rooms," she volunteers aloud to claim her place, and summarily begins unrolling bedding to determine what is available, eyeing the spaces to be set up and beginning to lay them out in a pattern that allows for some degree of privacy and space.
