Elyse put her bag on the floor when Nox took her to a couch. It sat out of the way by the arm of the chair. She looked at it as she sat it down. Everything that she owned was now in that bag and she debated whether or not she should have left the picture of her parents behind, but the more she thought of it, the more she was glad she did. It would make it harder to stay away. She hoped the Atharim wouldn't go after them, but there was nothing she could do.
Elyse took the drink with a slightly shaking hand. She sipped at the whiskey and allowed it's warmth to fill her. Even that just helped. When Nox put her arm around her and pulled her close, she moved to sit on his lap. With Nox and the whiskey, she was calming down pretty quickly.
Elyse was content to listen for now and despite how scary everything had seemed, Elyse was starting to take it into stride like she usually did. The situation itself didn't scare her - well not enough to make her cry. What had caused her to cry was that everything she had known had turned upside down in just a few short days. She took Nox's arms and wrapped them around her tighter. His presence was comforting.
"No secrets,"
she said, echoing what Dorian had said earlier. She waited until after their conversation had ended to talk, and her glass of whiskey was empty. She set it down on the table with a light clink.
"I'm wolfkin,"
she said concisely, not knowing if Christian or Ana knew what that meant. "Don't worry, I'm in control of my abilities and of completely sound mind."
Elyse wasn't sure what else to say, so she turned her head to the ground and took Nox's hand in her own interlacing their fingers.
