Fast asleep, Elly didn't prevent Fae from pulling her arm away or otherwise react. After a few moments, she reached out and pulled Fae's shirt to her, keeping Fae's scent in her nostrils as she dreamed.
Sickness made sleep fickle, though Elly did not fully awaken at any point. She shifted, rolling onto her back without Fae's weight to anchor her in place. Though she continued to clutch Fae's shirt close with one hand, the other pulled at her tunic, undoing a few of the toggles to allow more cool air to reach her feverish skin. Light added a soft glow to the perspiration on her skin as her chest slowly rose and fell. She lay there, splayed out, mouth still open and breath softly whistling, unaware of Fae's coming and going.
Elly dreamed of being back home, in a warm bed, the smell of yeast enfolding her. Hunger grumbled in her stomach. Someone was asking her what she thought she could keep down. "Oatcakes..." she murmured, barely intelligible. "F'me and the Ladies. Tell Wynn." Her breath snorted through her nose and her head flopped to the other side. "...play with Wrenn later."
