Nettie nodded and gave him a small smile. "Of course.. Please get some rest. I'll leave you now." She stared at him a moment. There was something she wanted to say, but she didn't know what.

"Do remember to eat." She said softly and stared up at his face for a moment more, wishing that whatever was going on that he'd look happy and content again.

Again his words, for her, seemed to hold a double meaning. He didn't need her, she needed him. She felt that dread that she was dragging him down and burdening. It was only a matter of time before he'd be annoyed with her like her parents were. A nuisance.

"Goodbye uncle.." She turned and left him. The blond woman's worries only grew with every step but there was nothing she could do. She would just be at the ready for whenever he called upon her, but she didn't want to bother him so she wouldn't put herself in his way and demand his time any longer.
