Frith's voice was growing quieter now, his weariness showing through, Novella would fight back the urge to step forwards and settle with her mate until he had fallen completely asleep. He certainly needed to rest now though, that much was rather evident. She had hoped to see some better progress though apparently the illness still tired him drastically. "I'll leave you to rest now." She would comment softly. "I'll see you later." Or if she didn't personally she'd certainly be sure to send one of the children along with food for him, something to hopefully give him a bit more energy and strength to fight off this sickness. With that, she would quietly leave him in peace and begin to attend to whatever duties the day held for her, albeit somewhat unwillingly, a part of her certainly longing for more time and better time with her husband.
