Elann had never thought of animals as having mentalities as the bird seemed to display with Noah. As it came toward her, her eyes went wider but still she didn't move. If the bond had been open between Noah and Elann, he would have felt extreme caution on her part as fear overtook her. Ultimately it seemed their little bird friend didn't intend to do anything with her, just look. If it had hopped at her she might have jumped off the wagon in fear, but it seemed nice enough.
As long as it stayed on Noah, she was fine, and once it began to hop back after tweeting her name, it departed. By listening, it did almost seem like he was teaching it and encouraging the little bird to sing out something, so when he revealed her name with the pitch, she remembered it. Not only could Elann whistle very well, but she had pitch perfect hearing from singing all of her life.
She grinned to him, but he looked away to the grass. A moment later, she produced the pitch much like him in a whistle and tried to remember it. She hummed, showing interest and then slipped off the back edge of the wagon to walk behind. Her eyes trailed for Aimee and then she just walked with the wagon once having seen her. She was quiet with her hands behind her back and an occasional skip in her step. She was giving him a tiny bit of space and decided to just enjoy the air. If he tested their bond, he would feel love was still there, but she was just being quiet to herself.
Elann figured if he wanted to talk more about the bird or her whistle, he would instigate it. She just took the time to think and pray to her God in that time, asking him about faithfulness and if what she was doing was being faithful still to Noah. Elann cared a lot about her promises, and so the promise to remain with him was the most serious bond she had ever forged. It was destroying her to separate herself from him after their big fight, but it seemed like everything she did annoyed him to some degree or was not received as well as it could. She just took the time to check her heart and to make sure that she was still deeply in love with him, it was just hard because she didn't want a relationship just like her own parents who rarely spoke to each other, who enjoyed spending the days and evenings alone and then spent only a short time in each others presence. She wanted more, but that wasn't happening. Her only desire was that by giving him space, at some point he would show how much he wanted her near him.
