Despite the grip Swain had on her hand, LeBlanc did not react. She did not use any illusions to mask the pain, or to shift hands or any sort of expected feat, she allowed him to feel her knuckles shift, soft skin pushed about by his fingers. When he released his grip, and made his wordless apology, she responded with a soft smile and a nod of her head.
Upon hearing his request, LeBlanc tapped his chest lightly. "And two hours it shall be, darling. For now, rest." He muttered about how much work that had to be done, which she tittered to in response. "There's always work to be done, dear." Her voice took on a more playful tone, cooing at the fatigued Grand General, "You may be five steps ahead of everyone else, but do keep in mind who can be five steps behind, keep pace with you, and be five steps to the left of you all at once. I could even maybe be five steps above you, perhaps two steps below and three to the side....if you so wish me to be. But for now?"
LeBlanc comfortably settled herself on the bed, her head drooping, her voice lowering as she changed her breathing pattern to match with Swain's, in her attempt to help relax him further. "I'll be right by your side. Two hours and I will awaken you."
