Elann nearly warmed at the thought. The idea of Zeltiva being really hot filled their connected bond with thoughts of comfort and coziness; even if it was for a while yet. By the time they arrived there in a couple to a few weeks, she would be that much closer to warm weather. Then her husband said something that made her look up to him and fill with passionate love for him. She then nestled in at his side looking forward with a happy sigh, embracing him with both of her hands in a sideways hug about his torso. It seemed whatever he said had worked charmingly to bring her happiness, whether it was his intent or not. Elann liked to believe Noah was much more romantic at times than he actually was, and his defense of her was not just his predatory instinct of his eagle form, but rather a deep rooted love for her. In reality she was part right, he did love her, but he was far more animal than she knew. "I can't wait until we get there. I have been thinking about it non-stop. I dream about it all the time and I hope it is as wonderful as you have said it would be. Even if not though, I know I'll love it there." Her hand moved from the hug to reach up to the one wrapped around her and held it still while she turned her head to gently place a kiss there on his forearm. She settled back in at his side more and let out a happy sigh. They had been on a rocky road, that was for sure, and it was nice to just relax for a little with each other. It was for that reason she had not pushed to bring up what was on her heart. It kept nagging at her though and pushing her to tell the truth. "Noah?" she awaited his hum, loving that she could predict him. "I have been feeling something in my heart that I have to confess. I know I have failed to understand you in many ways. Your world has been so different from mine. How can I better understand you more? We haven't talked about this since our fight. I want to know you better, but inside, in my heart, I feel like you are this amazing animal, a Kelvic eagle, but at the same time, you are a Kelvic man. You've told me before you wanted to be more human, but recently I've seen you embrace more of the opposite. It sometimes makes me feel like you just want to go off and be an eagle, but I married you, you are bonded to me, and I don't want you to fall too far into that side of you. Am I wrong to feel that way? What...what can I do to better know you?" she asked nervously and then pleaded, "I love you so much and I just feel afraid that if since your family has come you have been being more focused on that animal side of you, how much more when you are among your whole family. Is this a dumb fear to have?" He could perceive through her bond a sense of relief, but also a feeling of honesty in her words. It was how she was feeling; even if she didn't want to feel it. She had trusted that she could speak what was on her heart to him, but each time recently it had ended up painful to speak of what was there; them ending in large fights. She hoped with all her being that he wouldn't leave her there, that he would comfort her fears and not turn from her like he had before- she didn't know how much more she could handle of him leaving her. If he had to leave, she hoped he would at least pay her love before doing so. After all, he hadn't liked it when she left the tent suddenly the previous day, perhaps he could now understand her.
