Irene was planning on going to her barrack and sleeping for a while considering it was morning which meant it was her night. All efforts to fix the nocturnal schedule they had developed over the autumn had failed. She was simply going to live with it for a while and hope her duties didn't fall by the wayside.
After spending all night in the library and nearly falling asleep a couple of times, she was wiped out. The heavy glances everyone kept sending her while her father revealed the truth about his intentions also tired her to the bitter end.
Only when her boots echoed down the hallway did she realize the others were still following her.
She turned to her friends.
"I'm a bit tired…" she trailed off, hoping that there wouldn't be much more to say than that.
"I am too," Felix responded. "After all, it's quite the burden to be the first of us knighted."
He puffed out his chest which only received a glare from Irene and she began to walk again.
