Rue was still holding her close when she woke up.

Adele looked to her side, wondering if Rue was awake or not. She gently tried to push his arms off so she could move again, though she didn't move away from him.

Rue woke up then. He looked up at Adele.

"Good morning," Adele said softly. She smiled a little. She was still way paler than normal.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"Good morning," Rue said, "Are you alright?" He asked.

"My magic's slow to return," Adele said. "I used almost all of it yesterday."  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"Sorry..." Rue said.  

[marixe alcyone]

"Don't apologize," Adele said. "It's not your fault I used it up." She didn't like it when he apologized for things that weren't his fault.

Rue looked in her eyes, still seeming apologetic.

"Don't feel sorry," Adele said. She reached up to pet his hair. "It'll come back, it just takes a while. I don't usually use it, so it's not used to recharging."

"Lets' rest for today," Rue said.  

[marixe alcyone]

Adele nodded. "I'll have to out and get food soon," she said. "We don't have much here." She also didn't want Rue to have to leave the room, in case the hunters weren't gone, and since she thought he was too weak to.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"You're at risk too...Maybe we shouldn't leave for a bit," Rue said.  

[marixe alcyone]

"I have to go out eventually," Adele said. "And I can take them without magic. It'll be fine. You're more at risk than me." She tried to sit up, intending to go now.

"You weren't able to before," Rue pointed out.
