While Noah was beating himself up inside, Elann was none the wiser. His bond was closed once again and she was innocently loving on him. She had her issues with what had happened, but she was trying to do what needed to be done to make the relationship right and yet still not be so distant as to make him feel unloved. Elann had come from a family that loved at a distance, and she had always wanted more. Even her own mother had confessed her anger at her husband for not being closer to her. That drove Elann to fight hard to be close to Noah, but in the end, she was trapped in the same relationship. She didn't want to grow to hate him and still held hope for their future. 

"Okay," she responded softly to him. Elann was actually quite joyful given not only that she had prayed all day, but because she was finally getting to see him awake. She hated seeing him laid out there unconscious and drugged. She couldn't stand his sleepy eyes and drugged looks from when he would stir awake and fall back asleep. It tore her heart open for him as she loved him dearly. It was nice to see him finally sat up, and as he finished taking a drink, she watched him set it off to the side. With bread in his mouth he beckoned for her and it caused her to giggle a little. Waves of joy would flood him as she rose up first to her knees, and then gently crawled to straddle his lap. Normally she would lay in his arms, but given his weak strength, his stitches in back and muscles that would normally support her, she figured it best to come to him directly. As it was, she rest facing him in his lap with her hands on her thighs to give her upperbody support.

Playfully, she bit the bread and yanked it from his mouth with eyes that showed her mirth and deviousness. Her eyebrows wriggled to him as she now held it in her own mouth. Elann was trying to start a game with him as she had noticed how he liked playing with her earlier but wasn't sure if he would. She knew that certain terrestrial animals fought over food, but she was a human and clearly playing. She just hoped that would translate to him.
