ELIZABETH CAN’T HELP BUT JUMP AT MARY’S VOICE, startling her... “ mary... ” her voice is meek but hoarse. despite the proper posture she tries to keep, there’s a faint tremble in the way she stands... lemoyne raiders... one her walk back from the doctors, she had saw them in passing but even within those few seconds, she felt the world stop... thankfully mary was still in town and liza took her son and rushed over, knowing she would calm her down...
hearing mary’s words, elizabeth shakes her head, holding her sleeping son in her arms, his head resting on her shoulder as she anxiously rocks him. “ no. i can’t... they could be around here... ” there’s panic in her voice, FEAR. she quietly hushes as if soothing alexander who’s already fast asleep when in reality she’s trying to soothe herself. her breathing soon slows as her eyes stay locked on the window, watching carriages stroll in and out of town... maybe mary’s right... maybe food would be best... she takes her gaze away from the window forcefully now looking at the other woman.
“ can you speak of something ? anything to distract my mind... ” elizabeth pleads softly, facial expression looking exhausted.
