Ellanra sighed, her eyes half-closing as she stroked Faolan's cheek some more. Sadness overtook her eyes as sh finally noticed what she should have seen all along. "You shouldn't have to be used to it. I'm sorry I didn't notice before," she said quietly, still lightly touching the bruises on his face.

Faolan made a soft noise, looking down, cheeks reddening with something akin to shame. "You ain't gotta be sorry. It ain't your fault." He closed his eyes, letting Ellandra continue stroking his face.

Ellandra closed her eyes, and contined stroking his face, starting to lightly run her fingers oer Faolan's lip, over and over again. "I'm sorry that I never noticed how much it hurts you, Faolan. . . that much, at least, is my fault. . . but I'll never . . . not notice again. . . and I hope it never happens again, either," she said softly, her word fading as her focus rose, though she didn't quite know why. Over and over again, her fingers continued tracing his lip... that poor split lip, those hurt so much, couldn't she make it any better for him at all?

Faolan sighed, giving over to being petted and loved. "It's not like you could really stop it from happening. I've gotten . . . used to it now. Everyone has their cross to bear. This one's mine." He kissed at her fingertips when they traced over his lip.

"It shouldn't be," Ellandra said again, her voice rather hazy and distant, totally focused on.something.....just out of reach for her, mentally, but she could still feel it, deep within her...... she just had to make that hurt go away, just this one small hurt, that would be enough for now.....

Faolan's ears went to attention, his eyes opening as a shiver ran through him. He knew what magic felt like and certainly was surprised his wife was using it now. "Elle, what are you doing? Stop. That ain't good for the bairns."

Ellandra didn't hear him or she certainly would have stopped. Her focus now was entirely on just that one little hurt, and making it go away. Her eyes still closed, she wasn't even seeing him. She was just.....feeling, so to speak, feeling..... and - and reaching... and tug softly, just there, that, use that, that will help, Mama said so long ago, something she didn't remember but it was important......

Faolan caught Elle's wrist and gave a sharp tug to try and bring her around. "Ellandra, stop."

It was like being dragged out from underwater, and Ellandra took a breath as though that was exactly what had just happened. Her eyes opened wide in surprise and she nearly fell against Faolan, totally and utterly confused. "F-faolan? W-wha' - what just...? I ..... w-whaaa'?" To say she was disoriented was an understatement.

Fao blinked, brow furrowing in concern. "La, girl, you were using magic. Don't you remember? What were you thinkin'?"

Ellandra blinked and shook her head, staring at Faolan in a disoriented manner. "N-no, tha-that's impossible.... I don't - I can't use magic...."

"Well, you were. I know enough of what it feels like to know it's bein' used. What were you tryin' to do?" Fao asked, tilting his head. He moved around, hunching down to press an ear to her belly. Closing his eyes, he reveled a bit in the sound of two tiny heartbeats within. "The twins are okay. No worries there."

Ellanra blinked. "Th-that's good - b-but. . . . I - I don't know - wh-what was I - I doi --" Suddenly she paused and tilted her head. Catching Faolan by the chin, she tilted his head so she could see his face better. "Wasn't your lip split...?" She asked hesitantly, still seeming a bit dazed, but mostly just very tired.

Faolan shrugged, blinking a little. "Dunno. Coulda been." He moved around to lean back down, wanting to listen to his children again.

Ellandra sighed softly, a little, exhausted-sounding puff of air, and moved so that she was half-lying on the bed. She felt so very tired, moreso than she expected even with the twins taking up her energy. What in the world had happened? "F-faolan....?" She asked, mumbling more than speaking, really.
