It was strange to Elann how Noah associated with the child so much more than with her. It was like as if he could be civil to her. Despite his pain, grogginess, and being the frightful beast he was, with her he could be civil; smile to her, speak kindly. Perhaps it was her cheerfulness, but Elann remembered it. Regardless of her thoughts, the little girl brought a smile naturally to Elann's face. She thought of her as cute, curious, and a pleasure. Not many kids would do what she did and to Elann she was appreciated. While Elann had known her already, she hadn't exactly bonded as much as some people had. Still, Elann had enjoyed playing with all the children of the caravan as they had went along. There were little games they could play as they moved forward: tag, throw the stick in the hoop, and roll the wheel. 

As Noah waved, Elann did too with a kind smile. She didn't have to say anything. It was clear that the girl was fascinated with what her husband could do; being a kelvic, but also his personality was easy to attatch to. 

It was dark, and given the time he had spent laying down, Elann wondered if he had healed enough to move. She would want to ask the doctor there shortly what his plans for his family were and if they were going to use the wagon to sleep in. Slowly she rubbed his cheek very lightly with her thumb as she thought about many things, chief of them being that Aimee was likely so far disconnected from the camp that she hadn't even heard about Noah yet. Elann hadn't seen her since he was injured and since she went hunting, yet she had wished she had come when it was imperative for her to help out. Now Elann would have to somehow figure everything out.

She let out a sigh and ran her hands up through his hair. 

"Do you want me to go get you some dinner or stay here with you love?"

Despite his hands on her dress previously, she just wanted to be wanted by him. Part of her wondered if he would ask her to stay. Even though things on the surface seemed fine in their relationship, her intuition and the small things that had happened spoke otherwise. Still, Elann couldn't stay on the negative and instead chose to think better of him, even if it wasn't deserved. She would resolve to hope that he would want her to stay.
