Aaron couldn't sleep until after some time. He thought of the violent attack, and what the Church' plans were - and how he hoped they would suffice. He was rarely paid to think, but he was concerned that the Church didn't see the danger and didn't care about collateral damage. These thoughts didn't help him sleep.

Instead he thought of Alcuin, the body next to him and his breathing. It calmed him and finally he did fall asleep.
