*Sits at Firiel's bedside, stroking her hair and singing to her softly while she sleeps.*
Firiel: *stirs slightly and turns on her side*
Frealaf: *sits back in his chair, still humming*
Firiel: *opens her eyes slowly, for a moment, and looks at Frey, reaches for his hand*
Frealaf: *takes her hand and rubs his thumb across the back of it* Hi.
Firiel: *manages a small smile* Hi. How are you?
Frealaf: *smiles and shakes his head slightly* I'm fine. How do you feel?
Firiel: I'm all right. Sore, though. *squeezes his hand gently*
Frealaf: *nods, squeezes back* I'm sorry, Firiel.
Firiel: *pulls his hand close to her face* There's no need to be sorry.
Frealaf: There is. I said I'd be here for you and I wasn't. By the time someone came and got me, it was over.
Firiel: *kisses his hand* It's over now. Don't dwell on it.
Frealaf: *sighs, leans over and kisses her forehead* I'm still sorry.
Firiel: I know, Frey. It's all right. *kisses his hand again* It's over now.
Frealaf: *nods* I'm glad for that.
Firiel: *sighs, closes her eyes, nods* Yes...
Frealaf: *strokes her cheek* Get some rest.
Firiel: *nods, holds his hand* Stay with me?
Frealaf: Of course. I'm not going anywhere.
Firiel: *nods, closes her eyes again and falls asleep*
Frealaf: *gets comfortable in the chair and starts singing again*
