Noah considered what she said about Zulrav and how she felt open to him for the first time. It was a start, he supposed, but he knew his deity and knew what Elann was doing wasn’t enough. It was a start though, as he thought. Zulrav, upon marking Noah for the first time, confessed he had been watching the Kelvic since birth. It confirmed Noah’s mother’s inkling that the storm in which Noah was birthed in was Zulrav’s presence and announcement of Noah into the world.. Even then, it took six years for Noah to get a mark he wasn’t even initially seeking out.

With the thoughts on his mind he watched her shrug and chew on her lip quietly, thinking on how Zulrav saw his bondmate. They had fought a lot and he had been hurt a few times by Elann. He knew Zulrav was watching that, and seeing as the god was ever attentive to his only stormwarden above all else, he was sure Zulrav had drawn his own opinions of the Benshira in front of Noah now. Having that thought cycle through his mind made Noah look at Elann with a sense of somberness.

Elann recounting what was professed in her dreams made Noah uneasy. He shifted, stuffing his hands into the hollow of his lap, denting the blanket that was strewn over him, until he felt the hardness of the floor beneath, softened by the blankets laid overtop it. He tilted his head at her confusion. The last vision he remembered her telling him about was the one with the house on the cusp of the forest. Seeing as he recalled seeing that house when he lived in Zeltiva, he was afraid of the trueness of her dream because she was confused and worried. Compelled, one of his hands rose from his lap and rested atop her thigh.

With his other hand he reached for the set aside cup of water and took a sip from it. The thumb of the hand on her thigh rubbed affectionately with light action. Bringing the cup down, his eyes went to her and he wondered if she had anything else to say on the matter. In his lulling look, he licked his lips. He had slept all that day and he was alert and rearing with energy which resided quietly inside of him.
