LET ME FUCKING LOOK YOU WHORESON Bug apparently still encountered even on patch 1.10. Possible fix courtesy of commenter William Pittman: "I found a fix. just find what time he leaves the fire. if its at 5 am, then meditate till 4 am and then wait for 5 am to roll around. once he starts walking away from the fire, the glitch shouldnt happen anymore. worked for me on the Rogne merchant."
