Elleard asked Elena to bring a wet towel and cleaned their bodies from their activities earlier. Nobody said a word afterward. The silence was deafening.
After they were clean, Elena stood awkwardly beside the bed and looked at Elleard.
"Do... you want me to help you get dressed?" she asked with a small voice.
Elleard was still naked and Elena didn't know if he would be comfortable sleeping like that. She also didn't want to assume he wanted her help. She was worried to offend him if she did things wrongly.
She had learned that her husband's pride was high and it might make him feel upset if she offered help when he didn't need it. This time, her guess was correct.
Elleard waved his hand and said, "No need. I will sleep naked."
Then he pointed at the bed and ordered Elena to sleep on the inner side so he didn't have to move. "You should sleep now."
