It was hard to hear someone who professed their love for her say that he didn't know if he could forgive her. It was understandable as their fight hadn't been that long ago, but hearing his words showed just how truly hurt he was inside. She wished she could ask him why he hadn't communicated how her actions were hurting him, but he had, and she had ignored it to a point. She had been selfish in her demands and all she could do was look down to his lap and nod disappointingly.

His voice cracked through the air again and his words this time brought a little hope back to her distress, evening her back out, and she looked up to him with a little smile. It was then she leaned in to lightly place a kiss on his lips, lingering there romantically a moment with him. It was her answer to him, but just so he didn't feel she ignored him, she also spoke in a soft whisper. 

"You mean a lot to me too."

Both of them knew they couldn't discuss the event in any way louder than they were, so Elann gave up on the conversation and instead showed him the affection of his wife. Much like Alena, she then lay against her husband. Instead of being up under his arm like Alena was, she took up residence more along his legs, nuzzling there lovingly and laying perpendicular to his body. The wagon wasn't very wide to so easily let her do that, so her legs tucked up and she lay in a fetal position there, lovingly brushing his thigh once more with a hand.

She hoped that her apology and love would bring him peace, even if their relationship couldn't mend. She didn't like to see or feel the tension between them and it was really a way for him to see what she was trying to do. The past few days she had given him space, tried not to push him in any way, and let him be himself. Who knew if he would notice that now? She just lay there in the same manner until finally, some bells later down the road, they finally came to a stop. It was well into the night and they had made enough headway in their trip to have another attack on their caravan seem more trouble than it was worth. 

It was then that Elann slipped from Noah and said, "I'm going to go see what the wagon master wants us to do, then we can give Alena to her parents. She probably won't even wake up."
