NOAH
Her hands were shaking. Her hands were shaking. Her hands never shook. In fact, Odette's entire body was shaking, and that had never happened before in her life. Not when she experienced sleep deprivation, certainly not when she was food deprived and never because of any kind of emotional state either. But now, she couldn't even hold the cup of hot liquid Martin had stopped trying to replace into her hands. It would just slip or fall because she couldn't-- think, couldn't breathe, despite finally finding Noah because--- something was wrong, there was something very wrong with him and the Healers---

Odette suppressed a sob as she sunk further into her chair. Martin had gone to contact Noel, as well as everyone else, leaving her alone for the time being. They had found Noah a few hours ago, and since then the Healers had whisked him away and-- nothing. She didn't-- know what to do what could she do? The children asleep, home, despite being jumped around to a new bed practically every night in the past two weeks. And-- and--- her mind couldn't help but jump to what had consumed her during that time.

What could death eaters have possible wanted with Noah? What-- what? What did this mean? Did this mean they weren't safe anymore? That they-- wanted-- was it because of the planetarium? Because he looked at stars all day and night? Or was it-- was it because of her? Because she was a face people recognized? It didn't--- none of it made any sense, and because she had buried her hands into her face, she hadn't noticed a Healer come up to her until she had tapped her on the shoulder.

Jumping up, Odette raced after the Healer showing her the way to Noah's room. Visitors were being permitted, that was a good sign, wasn't it? She couldn't focus on what the Healer was saying to her, even as hard as she tried to watch her lips, it was too difficult. The Healer opened the door too slowly for her taste, and as a result Odette skidded to the only bed in the room so quickly her feet felt dislodged from her body. Noah-- Noah--

"Hi," she choked out, her hand immediately reaching out for his.

She was so taken off guard by Noah's shout that Odette immediately jerked and fell out of her chair because of it. Her eyes flew open wide as she attempted to stay on her feet, but she found that her legs had continued to feel like jelly and her feet still felt disconnected from her body. His grip did more than wonders, however; the strength to become alert had returned to her, as well as the ability to at least stand relatively on her own.

"Lyssandra?" Odette repeated frailly, her knees feeling weak as she stood still. What-- what-- "Lyssandra!" she repeated, this time with much more vigor. Had Noah been with Lyssandra? Because both of them had been in the planetarium! They had been together! So she might be able to--- just as quickly as Odette's heart had shot up with joy, it plummeted back down again. They hadn't found Lyssandra yet or-- as of right now, they didn't know where she was.

"She's not here," Odette began to shake her head slowly, the energy from before beginning to disappear. Her knees buckled for a moment and her weight shifted to rest against the bed. So whatever Lyssandra did--- the verb that was missing was crucial, wasn't it? Or else... Odette pulled one of her arms from Noah's to prop it and burry her face into her open palm. Was this how it was going to be? With him? Just having---- no bloody idea what was going on and guessing the other half of the time?

Odette suddenly felt very deflated. A part of her thought that it might be for the better if she called for a Healer--- but she couldn't. She wanted to stay with him just as much as she wanted to leave,
