*Her sleep had been light, and she jerked at the sound of his voice. Her ears had been trained on him, listening for anything. That he was saying her name... was she entirely sure she wasn't dreaming again? She looked up, her hair mussed and her cheeks puffy from last night's crying. She smiled a little bit, almost afraid to for fear it wasn't real.*
"Morning." *She said quietly, almost in a whisper.*

*The way the light came in through the window, it framed her head like a halo. Perhaps she was an angel, and he had gone on, only thinking he was home*
"Only...thought of you..."

*She straightened, taking his hand again and stroking the top of it with her thumb.*
"Sh. Don't say anything, you're home now."
*She took said hand and held it against her cheek, reassuring herself that he was there.*

*He heaved a sigh, giving her a weak smile as his hand touched her cheek*
"Missed you."

"And I you." *A tear or two dribbled onto his hand, and her voice was scratchy.*
"Now. Can I get you anything? Water, breakfast, painkillers... they said you're going to be just fine, as long as you stay in bed for now."

*As if on cue, a stab of pain went through him when she mentioned the medication. He tried to bite back the groan of pain, though it still escaped*
"Painkillers...water..."

*She nodded and padded off to get them, despite the fact that she was still in her rumpled nightgown. She returned momentarily with some little white pills and a glass of water. She helped prop him up and held out the pills to help him take them.*

"Merci."
*Moving slowly, he took the offered item, a vague thought of it hopefully being something he wouldn't need soon*

*She held the glass to his lips and made sure he swallowed before fluffing his pillows.*
"I need to change your bandages." *She said softly.* "And change you out of those clothes..." *He was still wearing the clothes he'd gone to the barricade in. Ripped, dirtied, bloodied. It would be easier if she got him into a nightshirt.*

*He nodded*
"Can't sleep like this."

*Taking that as permission (suddenly she felt as if she needed permission to undress her husband), she slowly began to gently remove his clothes. Soft hands fluttered over him once he was undressed, changing his bandages and, once that was done, easing him into a loose nightshirt. She tucked him under the covers again.*
"I should probably put some clothes on and go get breakfast for Alain and Johanna..."
*She clearly didn't want to leave his side.*

*He reached out to take her hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze*
"All...all right. I won't be going anywhere. Promise."

*She leaned forward to kiss his forehead, her hand lingering on his hair before she went to go put a plain day-dress on, sans corset. When she left the room she gave him a little smile from the doorway before going to attend to her morning duties. She woke the twins, fed them their breakfast, and played with them a while before handing them off to their nurse. She preferred to care for them herself, but at the moment she had more pressing matters.*
*She returned to Marius and brought some broth in on a tray, in case he wanted something after the painkillers now.*

*Marius was half-asleep when she returned, though he blinked back to complete wakefulness when he heard her footsteps. He smiled at the sight of her*
"Welcome back."

"I figured you might be hungry." *She said, nodding at the soup.* "I know there can't be much left at the Barricades and..."
