Elann didn't have any secret feelings to go on through their bond, but knew that he really wanted to hear her speak of their past and her love for him. He wouldn't have questioned it if he didn't. She made the mistake of making that her main point and she realized immediately when he began to feel sad that she had made yet another mistake. Why was she so forgetful around him? Why did she struggle to communicate? It was like she was intentionally doing all she could to hurt him and it wasn't in her heart to do so. 

He drooped down and spoke words that seemingly died off, as if she had killed part of his soul. Then the pain came. He had submitted to her and she knew then that he had done so simply because he thought she was demanding it. She made a point not to physically show the pain when he looked back up to her, enduring it as best she could. 

"Noah...maybe I just fail at speaking, maybe I just got forgot to say what is in my heart, but Love, I don't didn't say those things to convince you or force you into letting me feel our bond. By you denying me, and telling me no, that you don't want me to feel the pain...I thought that was sweet of you."

"In my heart, and what I failed to tell you was that I was actually really happy that you were protecting me from the pain. Sure I asked that you release the bond as I do want to feel it, but I completely understand."

"I just got so wrapped up in telling you how much I appreciated your love that I forgot the whole point we were making...that you don't want to open the bond to me. Upon hearing your words, I didn't want you to as well. If it pleases you, I want you to protect me from the pain. Please don't be sad. Please don't be disappointed. I didn't mean it like that."

She was pleading with him in a way so as not to be whiny, but sincere, and clearly not because she wanted everything to be nice between them. Her tone of voice conveyed that, as well as how disappointingly she felt in not being able to communicate what she felt; especially in the trying times they were in. Before he potentially would close the bond, she would revel in his love, holding onto it more than anything else there. It was like a breath of fresh air and despite the pain and soreness, it made her happy.
