It was strange that Noah looked to the sky when she asked of him to stop, but he did, and more than that, he listened any turned back. It was much more comforting to see the coming fire grow larger as they approached and Elann's nervousness faded away.

Elann saw the cook and Aimee, and hugged about her husband's side, she wished he was able to go hunt with his sister once more. It had been far too long. She hadn't broached the subject, but she was unsure of whether or not she could go hunting again. Whether it was a form of ptsd or not, the images of the roaring bears, the helplessness of the situation, and the blood shattering explosion of the bear's face as it pounced at her still flashed from time to time in her mind. On top of all that was her inability to help her husband in any way. Him bleeding into her hands as she carried him back. All of it was horrible for her, despite the comfort of Yahal and Zulrav's presences. 

It felt good to be in nature again with him and to not have something go wrong. As the dinner bell rang, Noah would feel her slide from him steadily.

"Stay here, I'll get it."

Much to his expectations, she zipped off to ensure he had enough food. She herself got a smaller bowl of food for herself so there wouldn't be as much leftovers for him. His enforcement of making her eat a bit more had made her a bit more cautious in piling the food on. She brought her bowl back along with his after patiently waiting in line, and he would see his had a nice serving on it and hers only filled about half the bowl. Granted, compared to the normal 1/4th of a bowl she would eat, the amount was more than normal, but less than what she usually had for him. 

She ate in silence at his side for the most part, only commenting how Aimee's food was getting better, if it wasn't just the cook who made it. Perhaps Elann's lessons before had helped her to understand to use her nose in smelling the food and how it would taste better? Either way, Elann thought it was delicious and especially enjoyed the potatoes more than the meat. In the end, she only ate 1/4th of her bowl, and the remaining 1/4th was all meat and if he wanted it, she would give it to Noah.
