(Guess who's here early/was passed out long enough to wake up on time!)

Malus, who had been quite quiet throughout the whole ordeal, was currently standing in one of the unoccupied corners. He didn't move at all and of course there was no indication that he was breathing, which raised the question of whether or not he had reverted back into a statue (assuming that he was an animated statue and not some kind of atronach or golem) or was even simply still alive.

The truth to it was that Malus was keeping watch and dozing at the same time. Since he was far too large for most beds and getting up (especially in cramped conditions such as bedrooms) often resulted in him accidentally crushing something or someone. As such, he usually "slept" standing up-- although it wasn't a true sleep, since Malus didn't actually possess the capability to sleep. It was something more like a trance. He was aware of what was going on around him, but it would take him a moment longer than usual to react to it if someone were to come bursting through the door.

Not that Malus really suspected their quarry would be coming here, anyways. He was simply keeping watch for formality's sake. He very much doubted anything interesting would happen.
