" talk to her" Tyler said

Lysander nodded briefly before following Tyler's advice. ”Betty. It's ok, angel. It's me. You're safe.” he said gently.

Betty didn't stop she calmed for a minute before going back at it

Lysander continued to speak calm reassurances to her, despite his heart pounding in worry.

" were gonna be back we can take care of her here" she said walking out

Lysander nodded, acknowledging Tyler's comment, but not stopping his stream of comforting words.

Betty could hear him but couldn't speak

He gently cupped her face. ”It’s ok, love. I’m right here. You're going to be ok.” he said softly before he considered something. ”Are… Are you trying to wake up?” he asked almost hopefully.

Betty jerked her head up almost like a nod

Lysander almost smiled at the faint sign and gently held her close. ”Then don't stop fighting, mon amour. You can do it. I’m right here.”

Betty eventually calmed down

Lysander slowly laid her back on the bed.

Betty didn't move

Lysander sighed a little at her lack of movement, though he was hoping that whatever had just happened was progress as he gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

”There… That took a bit more than I was expecting but I did it. The next time she wakes up, well, her doctor will be baffled by her recovery.” they chuckled a little tired. Honestly, though, they loved messing with people of science like this.
”And the children?” Charles asked, feeling more than a little drained.
”Don’t worry. I didn't forget them. They should be completely healthy by now too.” their smile faded as they sat beside Charles. ”But I should ask how you are feeling, old friend.”

Betty's air stopped it felt like she was suffocating

Lysander watched her carefully, almost hoping that this could just be a temporary effect…

Betty stopped moving but kept her eyes closed

(It’s ok. I understand.)

Lysander reached up and gently checked her pulse and felt for any sign of breath.

Unfortunately Betty didn't have any pulse or any sort of a heartbeat

Lysander swallowed nervously, praying that this was just a temporary reaction from the sleeping curse… that she would be alright and wake up.

Tyler came back in looking at betty

Lysander looked up at Tyler worriedly when he heard her come in.

"Kiss her" Tyler said
