But you won't be, she thinks to herself. She nearly says it too. It's on the tip of her tongue, but she holds back. He knows that far better than anyone. Instead she looks up towards the ceiling to keep the tears from falling and sniffs back any more. And when she thinks she has them under control, she looks back at him and forces a smile. She sits on the edge of his bed and sets her hands in her lap. It probably would have been polite to ask first, but she can't worry about that right now.

"You said you liked the way elven sounds, so this is for you, all right? No one else." Ellana has songs she sings with Merrick and those are their songs. But this one she'll only sing to Felix.

Hahren na melana sahlin
Emma ir abelas
Souver'inan isala hamin
Vhenan him dor'felas
In uthenera na revas

Vir sulahn'nehn
Vir dirthera
Vir samahl la numin
Vir lath sa'vunin.


She knows her fellow Dalish would hate that she was singing such an important elven song to a human. Especially a song about Uthenera, which they lost with the coming of humans. But she doesn't care what anyone else thinks. She just wants Felix to enjoy it. To hopefully find peace even though he doesn't understand the words.
