[b]Sylvia stayed completely still as Aranhil went about normally, covering a serious fight between them with calm words & a kiss on her forehead. She wanted to punch him in the face so badly now, but instead, she kept true to her goal & stayed completely complacent. As she was now apparently wasn't enough for Aranhil, so she would do as he wanted, & maybe he would start to see her... well, as a woman. She was desperate at this point, willing to push away her pride to lure in her husband's affections.

After Aranhil left the room, Sylvia went back to her food & quietly ate it, letting Hoppy back out of his cage. The little, furry creature rolled around on the floor & battled a piece of lettuce that Aranhil had left him, averting the dull, throbbing in Sylvia's chest while she ate. The elf quietly ate her food & brought the dishes outside before locking the bedroom door. She felt almost machine-like when she pulled on her nightclothes & climbed into bed, seeing that it was barely dark enough for night. As much as she wanted to stay up for a while longer, Sylvia curled up in the sheets while Hoppy climbed into the foot of it & struggled to sleep.[/b]
