It wasn't worth unpacking a single word in public and turning something that should be happy into something far more depressing. Waver didn't want to utter a word about how badly he had slept, how seeing Rider's death replay for night after night had impacted him, how everything made him just want to see his king again. So Waver didn't dare. He simply sighed, happy, and let himself stay where he was.

Besides, a presence like Rider was easy to miss.
