Elann had never understood since she found out that he felt nothing in the way of attraction or passion for her. To her, love had the makings of loving every aspect of the person you were in love with as much as possible. She had just since assumed it was something to do with his nature as a Kelvic, but upon seeing and hearing Aimee's relations she didn't understand. Elann wasn't going to poke the bear that was biting her in the moment, and that was that she had failed to understand her husband and he in turn had become very hard against her. It was her fault, and that said, she was doing what she could to change, to see if it would change something in him- to heal their relationship. It didn't mean she didn't hurt inside from time to time because of it though. 

He tugged at her in desparation and immediately it was evident that her soothing there wasn't good enough. He wanted more and even "tugged" on their bond in the only way he knew how. She quickly came to him, becoming so close she could not physically come any closer to him and shushed him again. She nearly lay completely on him and it was good there were cushions and her frame was so light or else she would have compounded his pain.

His question came, desperate and filled with guilt and perhaps fear. She couldn't tell it was all so sudden and only in the times he opened his bond to her could she feel how he felt. Noah had asked her to feel less intensely, shown her through his actions that she irritated him to a point when mollycoddling him or not understanding him, and seemed to prefer the intimacy of others over her. All of that she could deal with having seen her own father abandon her mother- or near to it- and she didn't consider herself in a cage even still and deeply she loved him, but his random inquiry confused her. 

"Upset? No. Shhh, I'm not upset with you. Did you have a night terror?"

She pet his hair and came up above him to look down at him with comfort in her bond and love in her eyes. Still, she had not compounded the emotion to the heights she normally would have, but he could feel her willingness to comfort him and still adhere to the lesson he brought to her last night.
