SARAH BRING THEM HOME ALREADY 😫🩷💙

Elain, taking it upon herself to acquire a dagger and thigh sheath.

Elain, finding peace in walking alone along the Sidra at night.

Elain, cursing under her breath as the dough fails to cooperate.

Elain, befriending a crow that she nursed back to health.

Elain, stating her prophetic visions offhandedly and refusing to elaborate.

Chapter 26 - The Color of Twilight

Lucien immediately assumes that Elain needs something, asking if there's anything they should do for her. Azriel, on the other hand, instantly understands that she isn't broken or mad. He makes it clear that she doesn't need saving, they need her. She's a Seer.

Right after that, Lucien is described as looking at Elain almost as if he's seeing her for the first time, shocked by this revelation. Meanwhile, Azriel is explicitly described as the only one who listened to her, the male who could hear things others could not and who understood what she was going through.

And to make the contrast even stronger, when the possibility that the Cauldron gave something to Elain is brought up, Lucien is once again stunned, while Azriel simply nods, already understanding.He's the one who recognizes her gift, validates her experiences, and helps everyone else understand her as well. And Feyre even notes that this understanding, their understanding, is what finally frees Elain from that "murky realm" she had been trapped in.

I love this. They’re so cute.

“Then Azriel, gently taking Elain’s hand in his own, as if afraid his scars would hurt her.”
