The day had felt interminable, and despite Adela's earnest efforts, the knights remained stubborn and engaged in tireless arguments.
"...I understand that many of you may not wish to leave your posts during such times, but I implore you to take this night to rest and return tomorrow.

Be assured that you will be promptly informed if the need arises. Good night to all of you."
Lacking the energy to argue any further, she turned her attention to her sister, leaving the decision to comply with her request or reject it to the knights.
"Walk with me, Larissa."
