"Alec..." She started to protest him, but she knew he was right. If she used her magic, they'd be left vulnerable completely if she couldn't even regain consciousness. Sighing softly, Magna nodded her consent. "Very well. You are right."
Preparing to steady herself on her feet, she made a soft surprised sound as he swept her up. Her reaction was slow as she wrapped her arms about his neck, but they moved of their own volition to steady them both. Tipping her head, she rested it on his shoulder. Saying thank you and showing gratitude had always been just a sign of loyalty or ceremony. Never something truthful and genuine. So now that she felt that... truly felt it... she felt shy saying it more than once.
Breathing in slowly as he set her on the bed, she instantly sank back onto the musty mattress. It could have been pure granite and it wouldn't have mattered. Her eyes fluttered closed and she hummed a happy sound to not be mobile. "Many do... running from his taint."
Opening her eyes just a little to look at him, he fingers gently pat the mattress. "Lay down. I will not be awake much longer so water is not important. Rest with me?"
