It was interesting to her how rapidly attached to the girl he had become. She had expressed the same interest, the same desire to comfort him, and even snuggled close many times like the girl, but he seemed to take to her readily. Elann wasn't jealous, but she wondered at it. It was likely due to the first day she met Noah, trying to change him into being more of a human and the little girl hadn't tried to do that. 

Elann looked down to the thigh of his she was rubbing. It reminded her of his injured leg. He said he was okay and she nodded while looking down to him. Slowly she looked up to him again to find his eyes were on her. He was a handsome man, and especially when he stared at her she could swoon for him, but in that instance she felt a little bit differently. He was cute with the little girl there by his side, and being a woman who always dreamed of having children, she wondered at it.

Elann knew that when children sleep, they sleep deep. They could move little Alena any time they wanted, but she let Noah stay there giving her comfort and she him. 

A tension grew in her heart then and a little worry. As she pet his leg still, in a whisper, Elann said, "Noah...how can you ever forgive me? I've done so much bad to you. I've tried to change you from the first day we've met. I've laid terrible burdens on you and I shouldn't have. I should have been more like Alena; fascinated and loving of you for who you are, not what I wanted you to be. I don't want to hurt you anymore. From now on, I don't want you to worry about what I've said in the past or asked you to do. Just be yourself and I promise I will love you." 

It was a long road to get her to that point as there were many behaviors that normal common folk just didn't do, but she would have to learn to love him for those things, and if the bond was true, eventually he would change, but even if not, she was going to love him regardless.

She seemed genuine in her words and saddened by what she had done to him. Her hand slowly came to a stop in rubbing his thigh as she entered into a realm of worried thoughts as to what he would say or do, but she knew she hoped he would comfort her and appreciate her saying such. Whether that would happen was all up in the air. Instead of rubbing him, her fingers treads softly over the fur blanket there.
