Shelley looks up, quickly, then down again, and shakes her head in silence. She feels, if anything, faintly sick, and there is no way she can eat. None.

It's just...

The thing is, some things can't be undone, and with that, she can't regain some measure of the shielding that she needs from him, and so now, she doesn't know how to talk to him, or even fight with him, something she could always do. Even when he used to hurt her on a whim, she had never felt quite this powerless, and she doesn't know why.

Her damp hair is cold on the back of her neck.

His hand lighted for a moment upon her hair as he paced around her--stunningly beautiful. A soft, comforting tone in his voice.

"It is all right."

She would find him to be the sum total of all that she needed and desired. Turning his face from her, he smiled.

"It is not," she whispers back, then flinches at the sound of her own voice.

She twitches her head out from under his hand.

Elan said nothing.

Only turned and began to walk down the hall. He suspected that she would follow him in spite of herself. She was lost and he was all that she had.
