Braelyn did find herself reacting a bit negatively to him pulling her close, just being caught up in bad thoughts at that point in time. So she was yanking away from him and telling him not to tough her - although her voice more full of fear. Caught in a delusion it seemed at the time. Some of the maids were definitely whispering at that point in time; one of them making a rather snide remark to her that there was no need to treat her husband like that. Eristella was just rounding on the maids that were there before she was speaking in a harsh voice, "Every single one of you. Leave this area. Right now. You are upsetting my patient even more." With that she was going over to Braelyn and Lo-Wen before she was speaking to Lo-Wen in a soft voice, "Keep your hands where she can seem them and approach slowly, speak calmly. Just let her come to you right now. She is frightened and feels unsafe, that is why she reacted how she did. Just reassure her she is safe, that you care for her, but leave her to come to you."
