"No.. I woke up on my own." At least half of that was right.<br/><br/>Elizabeth jumped visibly at the abrupt sound, soon realizing it was Aleksey's phone, audibly letting out a small sigh of relief. She seemed to only get more and more timid as time passed. She watched as he moved over to check who it was, and was slightly taken aback as she watched him then throw it out from the balcony, waiting for the sound as it got farther and farther away, until she couldn't hear it anymore.<br/><br/>Yet, she understood why he'd be angry when he clarified that it was his mother, again. She gave him a sympathetic look for a moment, watching as he moved over to the kettle, following after him just so she'd be in the same room with him, even if there wouldn't exactly be<span style="font-style: italic">that</span>much space between them. Now, though.. She was terrified of losing him again. She didn't even care about the cold, if she had to choose it over Aleksey, it was obvious what choice she'd make in that case.<br/><br/>“How are you this morning?” Elizabeth knew the question was more then just that- He was asking plenty of things all loaded in one question. “I worry for you…”<br/><br/>"You shouldn't worry.." She answered softly in a practical coo to him. She stepped closer almost silently, giving him a hug around his middle with her cheek against his back, staying there as if to warm him up after he'd stood outside for who knows how long. "Nothing's wrong.." Sure she'd been scared before- But now she was more curious then anything, just because all of it felt.. Natural, in some way, familiar almost as if it were simply something that hadn't occurred in what felt like lifetimes.<br/><br/>Yet, she'd felt as though he didn't quite believe her, but she didn't have the guts to show him any of her little 'tricks' that she knew far too well that she'd be able to do, thinking that maybe it was better for Aleksey to think she was fibbing rather then actually try to figure out what she was. Her grandmother had said a witch- But she'd never heard of any witches.. But then again, that was because naturally, they kept the strength around them, their aura that was so easily noticed, hidden, so as to appear like any other human until the time was necessary.<br/><br/>-----------------------------<br/><br/>OOC: xD Yay!
