Arjun was nervous.
Being nervous generally meant that some part of him wanted to please someone else. It was why he usually refrained from that sort of thing.
In this case, it simply couldn't be helped. Someone had been injured on his island, under his watch. Someone had committed what could only be called an awful crime.
In that light, sitting in the room of the victim and working on rebinding old books seemed like a poor solution. But she had said, Sophiana, that she wanted him to bring her books. Wanted him to read to her, if he could. Wanted him not to leave her alone, though he'd left her with servant girls to help as they could. Fortunately for Sophiana, the King of Muskaptilo did not actually have all that many responsibilities. The benefit of a low population. Not that she knew he was the King.
He was going to need to work on that, at some point. She was going to find out eventually, and the longer he waited the more embarrassing it would be for everyone involved.
The King did not, technically speaking, need to knock. But he chose to knock regardless, because Kingship was no excuse for being rude, a truth long believed by the Kings of Muskaptilo. He waited, then, for the servant girl who would surely come to the door as Sophiana continued to rest.
