Wolf's Head, Wolf's Heart
“There were two armed guards outside the door to the makeshift infirmary, and more patrolled the gardens outside the windows. Shad and Sapphire both had balked at having other guards inside the room, and a compromise had been reached.

That person was given a bell-pull with which to alert the corridor guards and instructions to raise a fuss at the least suspicion of trouble.
As with most co...mpromises, no one was completely happy, but as everyone was less unhappy the arrangement worked out.
Elise was scheduled to relieve Prince Tavis, who had taken the early-morning shift.
