When Alec's shoulders tensed and the muscles of his back seemed to knot up, she pulled herself from that trance state easily. Rubbing at the tense muscles with one hand, she continued to card through his hair with the other. When he jerked to consciousness, her brow furrowed just a little in confusion. Even knowing what ailed him was a dream... it still made her wonder what he'd dreamt of... he had much to chose from.

Then it became clear as the first question he asked was that one. "The damage he did this time was little to none. Bruises heal quickly." This time being the key part of that phrase. Oh... he'd hurt her before. But she didn't let it get that far this time. Not that she could dwell on the memories when his hands were so soothing on her back.

Gently tracing the side of his face, a small smile pulled at the corners. "I'm all right. Are you?" Winding her fingers idly in the silken hair, she let herself take a cursory look of him to gauge any wounds that still lingered. The act was much easier after resting. She could be in better shape, but this was still good.
