Elyse immediately responded to Mae. Thanks Mae - she's pretty bad. We're sedating her.
She sent another text to Adrian, asking if he was on duty and could come, assuring him she wasn't the issue. He responded back that he was on his way. Elyse had to continue breathing through her mouth. As they entered the bedroom downstairs and got the Emily's sister into the bed. She wasn't very cooperative, and Elyse wondered how they were going to get her to take the pill. That wasn't going to be fun.
Liam came down with the medicine and something changed within Emily. Her anger was still there, but it stilled as the woman took a deep breath. It could have been something as simple as she didn't want to yell at Liam - especially since he hadn't done anything wrong. Elyse understood the woman's anger. It was very primal. Someone had hurt her family, and watching her sister like that fueled it. Now calm, the Emily began to talk to her sister, offering comforting words. She forced her sister to look at her. Elyse took a tentative sniff and realized that her scents, still many and changing, weren't swirling so much. It was now tolerable to breathe at least.
"She's got a lot on her mind," Elyse said approaching Liam. Emily's answer about food hadn't been very helpful for him, and it was likely just one too many things for her to think about. "Something Nox would like would be great. According to what Ana told me, he's probably out Noxxing right now. He'll be appreciative of it when he gets back - and I'm sure she is too, she's just distracted. Thanks, Liam."
"He is," Emily said. Elyse looked over saw that the girl was mumbling, but falling asleep. "Nox is out with my husband dealing with the threat. And - yeah - ordering food is so simple, but it's too much for me to handle right now. I'm grateful - really - to all of you. I'm sorry if I haven't shown that yet. I'm Emily - and this is my sister, Rachel."
"I'm Elyse. Trust me - we understand. You're good,"
