Wanting to be able to know what was going om around her now that she was in a place surrounded by humans Ella had been trying to stay awake the whole night long, which resulted in the little girl calling asleep much later than usual and still being asleep when Poitr got back to the hospital the next morning. 

By then, she was pretty sure most of the staff had figured out that she was scared and timid, though maybe they'd mistake it for her just being shy. She hoped they did, but it wouldn't make much difference. They still didn't know that she was a shapeshifter, so everything was still good. She just hoped that she would be allowed to leave. Then she could finally stop pretending. To the little girl, that would be a huge relief.
