Emile let her work through it, giving her as much time as she needed.

Eventually, the girl did actually begin to calm. She didn't sit up, closing her eyes. She was exhausted, from all of this.

“It’s okay, you can rest.” He said quietly, holding her close.

The girl looked up for just a moment, nodding faintly. Why couldn't she have this all the time? Why did Astral hate her so much..?

“Just go ahead and relax, I can keep you safe for now.” He said quietly.

With a nod, the girl closed her eyes one more time. It wasn't long before she passed out, shivering from the cold instead of her fear.

Emile held her close in an attempt to keep her warm while she slept.

Astral didn't come out of the workroom for some time, and the girl seemed to be sleeping well enough. More likely than not she just passed out.

Emile was glad that at least for now she wasn’t getting hurt. He couldn’t protect her anymore after today though.

Who knew, Astral might just forget about her if Emile didn't bring her up. Or he'd demand she be handed over for proper punishment. It was a coin toss, really.

Emile sighed softly. He’d just have to wait and see what would happen then.

Astral took his time, it seemed, enough for the girl to slowly start to wake up. She shifted some, curling up a bit to help with the cold.

Emile began to hum softly as she began to wake up, hoping it’d help her stay calm.

The girl let herself keep her eyes closed when she heard Emile's humming. It seemed to be working, the small child moving to hold on to one of Emile's fingers.

Emile smiled softly at that, glad it seemed to be working. He continued his humming, not saying anything yet.

The girl slowly started to actually relax, her head resting on the pad of Emile's finger. She didn't let go, still shivering a bit from the damp cold seeping into her young body.

“Feeling a bit Better?” He asked quietly, not wanting to startle her.

The girl nodded, slowly turning her head to look up at Emile. She didn't speak yet, but she wasn't near as scared anymore, and her lungs didn't hurt as much.

“That’s good.” He smiled softly, hoping she’d be able to calm down.

The girl slowly rubbed at her eyes, looking up at Emile again.
"I…" Her voice was hoarse, and soft, making it hard to hear. "Thank you, sir…"

“You’re very welcome dear.” He said with a small smile.

The girl offered a very weak smile, but it dropped soon.

“Now then, is there anything you want to do or are you fine with just sitting here?”

"I… I'm okay with sitting here, sir, i-if you are." The girl glanced away, curling up a bit. She was scared she'd said the wrong thing.

“Well I’m perfectly okay with whatever. Do you want something to eat? And there’s no need to call me sir, dear.”
