[He hadn't expected to start picking up people in their travels but, looking back at it, it only makes sense. The castle is huge, meant to hold so many more than their small group and the galaxy - the galaxy is full of homeless and displace people. It's only right that the two should start to fill each other. And Rapunzel... Rapunzel belongs in a traveling palace. Not a stationary tower but a protective place she can return to after each exploration outside. He just wishes the explorations outside didn't more often than not end up in sadness and what the Galra had had ten thousand years to make of things.

He doesn't sleep much. The Galra have left their impact on him too. So he's already up and awake when he hears the knock and that sound alone tells him a great deal about who's probably outside at this hour. He's dressed, if not in uniform and he simply marks his place in the book Koran lent him with a finger, still carrying it as he walks over to the door and palms it open.

It's awfully late for her to still be awake. People don't usually do that at this hour unless they're running from something or wrestling with it. He gives her a smile of welcome to show its all right and steps to the side to let her in.]

You're up late. Come on in. Want something warm to drink? I think I've finally got the food processor figured out.
