When Noah sat up, it caught her attention, but only so much so as to look over at him and then back down to the wood grain before her. Feeling the pain more significantly now than previously, she shifted so her body would shake less, rather than rely on him to soften the wiggling. 

She could feel the pain in her from him and could sense the growing tension. If she felt willing, she would get up and mother him, but knowing his attitude according to his sister, she would just rather lay there than bother. 

Elann figured that the best thing for both of them would be for her to go to sleep and so she would remain that way, attempting to pass into the realm of dreams until they stopped. Given the way they were going, they would continue like this until Zeltiva, Elann getting better much quicker than him.
